Grocery Shopping Adventures

Another blessing we have received is a grocery store within walking distance. In fact, it's only two blocks away. The first day Eric went to work, I ventured off to the store with the kids. Out of our place, we turn right and head down the street.

The kids took at least a minute trying to figure out what pose they wanted to do for this picture. Ethan ended up with this one because he thought his friends would think it was really cool =).
Here is a picture of the outside. This is actually a mall and the grocery store is in the basement. This is common with other grocery stores around too.

So the first time I went was a little overwhelming. Take a look at this milk section for example. Which one would you pick? =)

Or soy sauce? Just because it is a dark liquid in a bottle, does not mean it is soy sauce. I still don't know what I bought that first day. Luckily, I have since gone back and struck gold =).

One thing I was excited about was yogurt. We eat a lot of it at home so I thought I'd stock up on some. I bought ten of these guys. The kids were excited as they had never had grape yogurt before. Um yeah, those were not yogurts. I think Eric decided to have one when he got home from work and suprise, it was jello. Oopsies! I also attempted to buy kitchen sized garbage bags and ended up with sandwich size bags. This kind of thing has happened a few times and we just laugh.

Here is Abby at our bagging station. Once we check out and pay for the groceries, we go to a seperate area and bag everything up.

This has been a great little store for us and I am so thankful!
