Kids generally like to go grocery shopping and bother though it was
with each of mine there was one day when we walked back to the car and
skipped the groceries. That was the lesson for all time

The other thing I hated was 'I want' so my kids knew that if they once
on a shopping trip whined about wanting something, the outcome was
they got nothing. Good behaviour merited a reward of fifty cents to
spend how they wished at the end of the trip. I think you would
probably have to pay more now, but come to think of it, today mum
would probably advise the child what it should buy!!
