my new favorite grocery store...

I haven't been grocery shopping at Kroger much these days.  It used to be my go-to place, but Costco and Trader Joe's have taken over as of late.  However, after a stop by Kroger this past weekend, I just may have make it one of my main stops again.

They have carts with cars!!!  Yes, this is not new news to anyone, I myself could have told you that Kroger had carts with cars, but I had never thought to use them myself.  Maybe because Beck wasn't old enough, or not all Krogers have these great things, but this time, the minute we stepped into Kroger and Beck caught sight of the car and HAD to have a ride.

And that was Perfectly fine with me!  He loves, loves, loves all things car, truck, motorized, goes vrrmmm... you get the picture.  This was the perfect little bit of entertainment for him as he drove both steering wheels through the store.

Ah... I could focus on getting what I needed and didn't have to worry about a fussy kid that needed more snacks.  And people are much more friendly and talkative when you have a cute little kid riding in a car on the front of your cart.  It makes for a great conversation piece.  At least 5 people asked him if he was a good driver (how cliche :)) and I talked to 3 or more people about how I was driving a semi.   It did take a little bit to get the turning radius figured out with this thing.

Needless to say, it was a good grocery run.

I do however hit meijer ever so often if in lafayette. Those carts are awesome kid entertainers!! To bad I can't push two carts around cause I have 3 kids who think they need a ride:)...haa haa...yep even my 10 year old would get a ride IF I let him(which I don't:)).
