If you start giving the child snacks from the shelves and then don't one day thats when the sreaming will begin as they wont understand why you have just changed your mind on that day.
I took my two kids shopping in the trolley seat and they were happy as Larry. Not starving or screaming for food. And when we had paid for it we could then maybe have something on the way to the car but they didnt NEED anything.
I didnt see the need to feed them to keep them happy....maybe a book or toy from home would keep them amused but not food
mine were never screaming for anything in particular or because they were hungry but they were bored quite often when very little. It wasn't a case of feeding them beforehand or dealing with an 'I want it tantrum' it just kept them busy. I tried books but they often got dropped on the floor and talkign was fine but I was distracted in looking for the good deals and they would be wanting my full attention. i don't allow my children this now they are older but the odd bit of bread or a banana if they were really out of sorts when they were really little kept them happy.
if you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got
