Take baby to the grocery store for practice when you’re not totally desperate for a kitchen’s worth of food. Use a cart, but just buy a treat for yourself. That way, when you actually have to go grocery shopping, you’ll know you can do it.
Two ways to approach the cart:
- wear your baby in the bjorn and push the cart
- put the infant carrier in the cart. Make sure it doesn’t wobble.
Another handy grocery shopping tip is to ask them to bag all your cold stuff together in plastic and the rest in paper bags so if you need to prioritize what comes in the house and what stays in the car, you can do so easily.

Great idea! I have yet to take my baby to the store because it seems so daunting. This, I can do!
I love the idea about bagging cold items in plastic & others in paper!
I also sometimes resort to safeway.com’s delivery service for staple items, since they don’t have EVERYTHING available for delivery. I can place my order in the evening when baby’s asleep & my groceries are delivered the next day! After about your 1st time ordering they’ll send you offers for free delivery about every time so you won’t end up spending more $ I actually usually spend less ’cause I can see my total at all times as opposed to at the grocery store where I have to calulate in my head:)
