Our trip begins where most days begin- on the computer. This time looking for coupons and specials. After a few searches we found a few coupons and our adventure continues. The trip to Walmart was pretty uneventful, you know how car rides go, either they are good or not so good. This one was pretty good, it was well after nap time so everyone was well rested.
When we first arrived at Walmart, we went for or main objective- the Abbott items. They were not so easy to find, and we could not find the bars at all. Of course, no employees wanted to be helpful! LOL When at last we found them, there were lots of flavors to pick from- but they were running very low on chocolate- only two left. After grabbing what we came for, we grabbed a few other things to be inclusive of everyone who might need a little help.
Before heading home and packing up our donation bag we decided to stop for a quick bite to eat. Little Man loves his lemonade...would have been a good idea to grab some at Walmart wouldn't it? Ah well, hind site is 20/20.
When we finally got home, we packed up our donation bag. We like to donate reusable bags, so we packed up one with PediaSure, PediaSure Sidekicks, baby food, formula and some cereal and crackers. A little bit for everyone. When we brought the donation to a local church they were happy to have it and accepted it with no problems.

Sounds like a successful shopping trip! And what an amazing thing to do. I'm sure that your local church was very happy to take in the donations.
Sam, you are teaching your kids some very important things about service and sharing! You ROCK!
How wonderful! I agree with Becky Jane, you are teaching your kids valuable lessons about service and sharing.
I agree that the computer is the best and first place to shop.
I always start my shopping trips on the computer too and I love your idea about donating.
Stopping for a bite to eat is a must prior to any shopping trip for me, otherwise I'll buy up the store.
I love that you have involved you children in this experience as well, they will remember this invaluable lesson for the rest of their lives....you go mommy!
So wonderful that you are donating. Great idea on using a reusable bag, I will have to remember that tip!
I start my shopping trips at the computer too. It's such an easy way to get more for your money, and in this case, donate more!
