Shop? Let's Not!

If there's one chore I try to avoid above all others, it's grocery shopping with my son. Without fail, Kellan and I battle over something he wants that I don't want to buy him. I try to shop when he's at school, but it's not always possible. Lately he asks to buy things during every shopping trip, which makes me one cranky mama.

The worst section is the registers, which are literally lined with eye candy - gum, chocolate, and a rainbow array of candies. He's even begged me to buy a lip balm because it was there!

Please tell me I'm not alone! Do you have advice on how to keep the peace during our shopping trips?
