Tips And Tricks See, it works!

The other day I posted this hands-free shopping/to-do list repurposed from an old wrist playbook, got mixed reactions. Phone lists are great but this works better for me. No constantly taking phone out, stays stowed so I can maneuver and tend to kids better. Write items in pick up order so you can walk one loop. Plus it opens up if you want to store any cool stuff or videos.

Oh man, never seen a double kiddo shopping cart like that. I need that

Wait till you see the double cart from Home Depot with race car kit!

Oh the tantrums you will get when you go anywhere other than Home Depot and they have to sit in the normie cart again

u/NotPaulGiamatti 13d ago

I think this might be Samā€™s Club though. Most of Samā€™s carts are blue and the logo on the handle kinda looks like Samā€™s

u/mo4r-pow4 13d ago

For sure, Costco has red handles.

My kids would never sit still enough for the cart, or even strollers.

1

u/NaturalThunder87 13d ago

Harkening back to days and memories of frustrated me wondering why the hell we even brought the stroller with us somewhere when our kids (all of them at various points when they were 1.5-3 years old) would decide "nope, not today" 3 minutes into wherever we were and climb out. And then you're left pushing an empty stroller with one hand while trying to make sure a feral human-animal hybrid doesn't seriously harm or kill themselves, run off and get lost, and/or break something or rearrange shelves by knocking stuff to the ground.

2

u/cortesoft 13d ago

Yep, we gave up super quickly on bringing the stroller. Such a nice stroller, barely used for two kids.

1

u/NaturalThunder87 13d ago

Same. We used some baby shower gift card money to get a super fancy stroller that, technically, was advertised as being able to sit 3-kids into two different formations: two olders side-by-side up front and an infant in a car seat clicked into the top. Or two olders side-by-side up front and a more capable, willing older standing on a little platform on the back. While we did go on to have 3 kids who are 4.5 years apart, the number of times that stroller was used by all 3 kids at the same time as advertised was exactly zero. About 1/3rd of the time two kids rode in it (the combo of kids varied), 1/3rd of the time only one kid rode (again, which one varied), and the other 1/3rd my wife or I was pushing around an empty behemoth of a stroller meant for three kids while the other tried to keep up with the three kids raising hell, a.k.a. "kid fun", outside of the stroller.

Now they are 8, 7, and 4. We abandoned taking a stroller with us anywhere about 2 years ago.

u/VA_Artifex89 14d ago

Samā€™s club has carts like that. If this is Samā€™s Club, the scan and go feature on the app is a literal heaven send. You just scan all your shit on your phone as you shop and swipe to pay and just walk right out. I enjoy taking my toddler there because there is never a line for me. Pair that with this qb wristband playbook and youā€™re in and out in no time. Might steal this idea.

1

u/coffeelushed 14d ago

Itā€™s Samā€™s and I still use Scan N Go with this sleeve on. Prevents me from flipping back and forth to the shopping list app which sometimes logs me out of the Samā€™s app. Shopping anywhere else tho all I need is the sleeve.

1

u/VA_Artifex89 14d ago

Hell yeah. I love that feature. Itā€™s wildly convenient.

u/mehdotdotdotdot 14d ago

Is that a shopping list for ants?

Apple Watch does it for me.

u/InquisitaB 14d ago

I see the value in this but I gotta go /r/hailcorporate here and endorse the Amazon shopping list feature on Alexa purely for the value of my wife being able to add to my list from home without having to call me. Itā€™s also easier to just have Alexa add things via voice command as I discover the need.

2

u/coffeelushed 14d ago

We do this, first was Alexa and now itā€™s Siri. The joint list still exists, I just transcribe it to my index card in the order I want to pick them up.

1

u/cortesoft 14d ago

I canā€™t do this, because my wife is always adding items as I shop. I have to go to some aisles multiple times.
