TOTAL accident and I felt horrible about it. I had his carrier in the grocery cart and my groceries all around it. The milk was tucked in a corner and I simply didn't see it when I unloaded everything onto the conveyor belt. I paid for everything, re-loaded it into the cart, and wheeled out to my car. After I had put all the groceries into my car and was about to grab Wyatt's carrier is when I noticed the carton of milk (not even a quart -- those SMALL containers) sitting in the cart. Now, I realize that the right thing to do was to run back in and pay for it. I also realize that this is totally an excuse BUT it was damn near 100 degrees, the sun is shining in my baby's sensitive eyes, my car was already loaded, my car was parked in the back of the parking lot (not many cart-stalls and I have to park near one so I don't have to lug a 14 pound baby inside a 10 pound carrier through the parking lot) so I wasn't about to go back inside, stand in line and pay for $1.89 carton of milk. Sorry, Publix.
I tell you all this basically to make the point that I think the new Publix Curbside service is a genius idea. I can't say for sure, but I would go out on a limb to say this idea was the brainchild of a woman with children. When I heard they were test-marketing this at a store in Atlanta I was beyond thrilled. Unforch, the store they are testing out is nowhere close to my house so I guess I'll just have to struggle a while longer until they roll it out in my local store.
Aaaaaannnd, here is a picture of Wyatt celebrating Shark Week last Wednesday! (Thanks Erin and Mary Beth for the cute onesie!) He wasn't too celebratory because this was after he had been to the doctor and had his 2-month shots. Poor baby!

Ooh, where are they testing Publix Curbside?
Don't feel bad about the milk. I accidently stole Christmas ornaments from Target last year...it was after Christmas so they were only $2, but I STILL feel guilty about it.
The picture of Wyatt is so cute!
At the Publix in the Toco Hills Shopping Center. They have drive-thru service too!
I'm glad to hear I'm not the only thief on the loose ....
i have totally ended up with groceries hidden in the damn carrier... so glad you have done this too.. felt bad, but not bad enough to go back out once i was home... is that awful of me?
you naughty, naughty girls. ;)
and hello? what is this whole publix curbside business? what does that mean? and what is the drive-thuru service? ps - sorry we're playing phone tag...
Aubs - nah ... at least you made it home before you realized! i realized in the parking lot and still didn't go back inside.
Meg - you order your groceries online (that process looks a bit tedious) and just go to the drive thru at the store and they load your groceries into your cart. i think its like $8 extra but probably worth it from time to time if you're in a hurry and have kids in the car.
I saw an article about this and think I will give it a try- and I don't even have kids NOR have I accidentally stolen anything from Publix. Not having to go into the grocery store would seriously cut down on my impulse buys!
