I wear my fannie pack which is perfect to carry cell phone, money, credit card, id, tissues, chapstick. I wear long underwear under my pants, my convertable gloves which go from mittens to fingerless, and my warm winter coat. I don't use a cart and I am somewhat short and young so I can manuever easily. I plan ahead what I need from each store and I get in line (while mom waits in the car until the line starts moving cause she's not as serious about it as me). I get done fast and get a place in line and mom meets me there. Some stores I just get a place in line while mom shops if there's nothing I wanted there. One time we used a garbage can to carry stuff in. I try to fine alternate routes rather than walking down the main aisles as they are always crowded. Toys and electronics get crowded fast so if I need something over there I get there quick and get out quick while mom gets stuff on the other side of the store, like appliances, bed sets, etc.
