Want to know my best money saving tip? Go shopping with a 5 month old.

Perhaps it's just my 5 month old but I'm guessing that's not the case. Errands used to be so easy with him because he'd sleep the whole time. Now he doesn't sleep when we're out and about unless we're on a walk outdoors. Now, my shopping consists of planning a strategy for getting in and out as quick as possible. And, if a meltdown occurs, I'm out of there.

Since Owen's maximum for shopping seems to be about 30 minutes, I have to act quick. I pretty much race through Target to get my grocery shopping done. And I realized today at Kohl's that looking at clothes for me while with Owen is impossible. I'll have to do that alone.

But, since I usually only get about 1/2 of the stuff done that I was thinking of doing, I spend a lot less money. I guess it's a good thing?
