  • How To Get In and Out of The Market Without Leaving What You Went In For
    Jan 13 2023

    There’s nothing worse than going all the way to the market when you really don’t feel like it, or spending way too much time in the store with cranky kids after working all day, only to get home and immediately realize that you:


    1. forgot to get the very thing or things you left out of the house for, and
    2. picked up a bunch of stuff you didn’t even need


    Especially when you have to turn right around and go back out because you really do need the thing or things you forgot at the market.


    Makes you want to scream right?


    In today’s episode, I will share my 4 simple steps to getting in and out of the market with exactly what you need.


    You will learn how to:

    • navigate the grocery store with ease
    • stick to the purpose of your shopping trip
    • actually leave the store with the purchases you went in to get in the first place
