Guest guest Posted March 18, 2001 Report Share Posted March 18, 2001 My grocery store has smaller carts, mostly for kids, so they can act like grown ups. I use these and it seems to accommodate most of my groceries. Maybe they could order you one of those! ---------- >From: HelenJW@... >dwarfism >Subject: Grocery shopping >Date: Sun, Mar 18, 2001, 7:36 AM > > I know awhile back it was mentioned how some of us go grocery shopping with > not being able to reach in the bottom basket of the shopping carts. > > I'm looking into asking one of the manager's of the grocery stores that I > shop at to order me a shopping cart that's basket bottom is accessible to me. > The manager said he would and understood about me not reaching into the > bottom of the cart and noting that the store provides amigo shopping carts > for those who can't walk, but shop. > > Helen > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 18, 2001 Report Share Posted March 18, 2001 I have noticed the same cart in the liquor stores in VA...sorry, but I do go there. They are a much better size for Little People. I am average height, but my daughter is a diastrophic dwarf...who also goes to the same such stores (sorry Martha). These shopping carts are a great size. I went to a specialTY market in VA Beach a few weeks ago, and they had a similarly sized cart. It was called, The Fresh Market. Does anyone know if this is a chain??? They had several options of carts. I was very impressed.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2001 Report Share Posted March 18, 2001 I often think about the 'cart' in the liquor stores or some of the 'warehouse clubs' I've been to where the cart is shallow and alittle longer. Now wouldn't that make grocery shopping a happier event!!!?!?!?! ....especially for that last package of Kool-aid lying FLAT on the bottam of the cart!!!! <Grrr> Grocery shopping I know awhile back it was mentioned how some of us go grocery shopping with not being able to reach in the bottom basket of the shopping carts. I'm looking into asking one of the manager's of the grocery stores that I shop at to order me a shopping cart that's basket bottom is accessible to me. The manager said he would and understood about me not reaching into the bottom of the cart and noting that the store provides amigo shopping carts for those who can't walk, but shop.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Sula, you found a great sale! As far as " diet food " goes, I try to keep very little completely off limits--and those are my 'trigger' foods (the ones that will send me on a 2-day binge once I start eating them). I think if we limit ourselves too much, we'll burn out. Funny thing, though, in just eating healthier for the last 7-8 months, now I really am drawn to the healthier foods. *shrugs* It's a nice change of pace from feeling like I wanted the junk food all the time but couldn't have it Is NutriSystem similar to Craig? Because of the price of JC food, I opted to pick out my own menus so I could get mostly the cheaper meals and I burned out REALLY fast. Two weeks in, while at the supermarket, I realized that the WW/Healthy Choice/Lean Cuisine meals were 1/3-1/4 the price of JC and what a selection! That's when I figured I could just do it on my own. I agree 100% with what you said about the low fat versions contributing to health problems. That high-fructose corn syrup is some nasty stuff and they add it to a lot of lower fat versions of foods. I am *very* careful with what my boys eat--absolutely no trans fats and I try very hard to not give them anything with high fructose corn syrup. Then, this last year in preschool, my oldest discovered Twix bars, fruit snacks, etc, because that's what the other moms send in for snacks. UGH!!! Your dinner sounds yummy! Is the Omega-3 spread any good? Does it have any trans fat like margarine? Anyway, you're off to a great start, Sula! -Bonnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
