If you are only running in to grab a few items don't automatically grab the cart. You will be less likely to pick up items that aren't on your list if you have to carry them all.

I wish I could do that! It seems like every time I try to use the baskets it ends up so loaded down that I'm waddling to the checkout line and wishing the person in front of me would hurry so I can put it down!!

Better yet.. when I only need a few light weight things I let my 3 yr old carry the basket! That really limits the amount we can bring home too!
