[nagdu] Shopping shopping shopping!!!

[Andrew J. LaPointe]

  Hi Dan, what I do is, about an hour before I go to the store, I call 
Customer Service and tell them that I will be there approx......  As far as 
groceries goes, I have a list in order like, dairy, deli, meats, fish ect 
including can goods ready to hand over to the Customer Service person.  I 
have my guide on my left hand like always, and I hold the carriage handle 
while the helper pulls in front.  He or she will look at the list and tell 
me what is on sale for things on the list.
Please always ask the Service helper to tell you what the cost and amount of 
any deli item.  I have been charged 7 or so dollars for a pound of 
bologna-----an honest mistake I am sure but, check.  I love taking my guide 
Shubert with me when my wife needs to go to Home Depot or Wal-Mart ect, we 
do forward follow.  Hope this helps somewhat.  If you have any other 
questions or want me to elaborate, let me know.  Andy and Shubert

Hey guys, first I want to thank all of yall for the help yall have given me.
It has helped me enormously with my trip down the road of owning a seeingEye
dog. Now, I have a question: What do yall do when you go to the store? I
mean.do you have something dto carry your groceries in? How do you get from
home to the store and back? Mainly what you do with the groceries though.and
what you do with your dog while your shopping.or do you just have customer
service get your items for you?

Thanks,

Dan
