There are pluses and minuses to shopping with your kids.
Do most of your major shopping with out the kids, but make a point to take them on short shopping trips to teach them which foods are healthy.
Teach them the value of healthy foods and which foods to ignore.
It takes time and effort to do this but you will be surprised at how fast they learn what is good for them and what is not so good.
This does not stop them from wanting the latest thing seen on TV.
Teach them how to read a label and what to look for, they will enjoy the use of this new skill but be patience with them as they will take some time.
Make sure they are well fed before you take them shopping, this is a good job for dad.
If possible take them early saterday morning, for a period of no more that 30 minutes.
When You Take Your Groceries HomeTo keep your foods fresh, take them home and refrigerate or freeze your purchases right away. Be sure to throw out any food that is too old to eat.
