Have your kids ever thrown things in the cart

I swear I used to watch as every item was scanned and could tell you just by looking at my cart about what my bill was going to be! Now days not so much!!
I went to walmart the other day and came home as always and started unloading and putting things away! that is when I found it!! a polka dotted thong in a size small. Both of my girls were in the buggy and for the life of me I cannot figure out where or when they grabbed it!! and I cannot believe I BOUGHT it!! it would not come close to fitting me even if I liked to wear a thong!

have you ever bought anything crazy without realizing it until you got home?

 

my kids bought a huge bag of cashew nuts. I realised when we got home from the shops why my bill was 20 dollars more than I thought it should be .

 

I've not accidentially bought it yet... but they have thrown a number of items in the cart. When unloading onto the conveyor belt I notice the items and I am like, wait... I didn't put that in there, and they start giggling.

 

:rotflmbo: I'm sorry Heather, I'm just laughing at your polka dot thong purchase that your children put in the cart for you.

Me too. :rotflmbo:

 

Most recently I bought a head of lettuce by mistake. ardon:

 

:rotflmbo: :rotflmbo: of all things to accidentally buy!!!! I was imagining a box of cookies or a toy or something... but a THONG?!? Oh that's too funny! So far no purchasing accidents here! (knock on wood!)

 

OMG-- that is soooo funny. I haven't had this experience yet, but your story is hilarious.

 

tears in my eyes...oh that is so very very funny.
You have to save that thong!!!! When they get older you can show what they bought for you

 

We went through a phase around 12m where I was sure I would get arrested for shoplifting b/c the boys often snuck things into the stroller when I wasn't looking (under their seat cushions usually). Nothing irked me more than getting all the way to the car, unloading them, strapping them in, and then going to collapse the stroller only to find stowaways, unstrap them, put them back in the stroller, and go back to the store to return them.

After a few episodes, I got good about remembering to shake down the stroller before leaving the store. My favorite thing that they snagged was a pair of pink, sparkly shoes with a bow that Nick picked out for himself. Joe seemed to be a connoiseur of high-end cheeses at the grocer. I will admit that I didn't bother to return the elmo slippers that I found in the stroller after a day of shoe shopping several places. It was pouring, they were grumpy, so was I, and I didn't even know which store to go back to.

 

Oh my!! That is quite a purchase there!!! We haven't had any problems with sticking things in the cart. We always have ours walk beside the cart and it seems to cut down on things going in the cart. Now, I have gotten to the register and they won't give up what they have found while in the store!!!!

 

I will have to watch my guys better because they always grab things, and usually I watch what is running through the scanner, but even the other day, I didn't. Thanks for posting this!

 

Polka dot thong :rotflmbo: That is HILARIOUS, I must say. No experience here yet, but I'm sure it'll be sooner than later!

 

About a month ago, I went shopping at Target with my sister. The kids put 2 packages of socks (adult size) in the cart. Well, since my sister and I were sharing a cart, and we both were buying stuff, we thought that the other person was buying the socks. So, I ended up buying the socks because I wasn't paying attention and we didn't realize it until we got into the car.
