Shopping in ancient societies

Shopping can be traced back to many civilisations in history. In ancient Rome, there was Trajan's Market with tabernas that served as retailing units. Shopping lists are known to be used by Romans as one was discovered by Hadrian's wall dated back to 75-125 AD and written for a soldier.

How can I feel comfortable shopping in stores after a weightloss of 20 lbs?
Q. I have just dropped down into the size 12 range and finally able to start shopping in "normal stores". I still feel like nothing is going to fit be, and I become sad and frustrated when certain things don't. How can I feel comfortable shopping now?

How exactly are shopping cart child restraints supposed to work?
Q. I know this sounds like a stupid question, but I really don't understand how they are *supposed* to work. I can sit my son in the shopping cart, adjust the belt around his waist, clip it, and it does absolutely nothing to keep him from climbing out. So, how is that one waist belt supposed to actually act as a restraining device?

A. I think in order to get the restraint to work correctly, you have to squish your child against the hard metal rails and snap him in with barely any breathing room. Seriously I dont know, but that seems like the only logical way. Even though it doesnt seem right.

Looking for a meal planning site with customization, shopping list and diet features?
Q. I've checked out a few popular meal planning sites, but none of them are quite what I'm looking for. I'm looking for an automated meal planner (so that it populates itself based on my preferences) which allows me to swap out meals that I'm not too keen on, provides a shopping list, and considers dietary information (such as calories per day). Ideally, the shopping list would be optimized for the week (so I'm not buying groceries that are completely separate from each day's meal recommendations). I'm willing to pay for such a site.

A. Give All Recipes a try. They have Weight Watchers and diet recipes on their site They also have when you chose a recipe it can be converted into a shopping list. I hope this is what you're looking for.
