Just popped to Morrisons for a few bits and grabbed a can of Relentless Origin on the way out. They are displayed as being £1 each but it went through the till for 50p. I didn't buy a meal deal or anything so it seems to just be a price glitch possibly.

I didn't realise I had to explain my shop but here goes.
I have a 2 year old son who is very picky with his food. He has a stomach problem so will only eat certain foods (he is under medical care and we have been told to feed him what he likes for now) He will eat a cheese topped roll and a bag of crisps for his lunch if I am lucky. He will eat a stick of the cheese with some fruit for a snack later.
I also have a pregnant wife who at the moment is craving haribo. Do you want to tell the pregnant lady she can't have them, because I'm not going to.
The hot chocolate is for me to put in my morning coffee to try to keep me awake during the day because the 2 year old I mentioned before is ill at the moment and so waking every couple of hours in the night. I have a chronic illness which also makes me tired. I don't like the taste of coffee too much but am trying it instead of drinking loads of energy drinks.
The energy drink was because this morning I am too tired to resist.
Is that ok?

I have a child with the same problem s and if I fed her that junk the doctors would have a field day with me,mine was more jokey your the one who is being snotty on a bank holiday,[/quote]How do you know your child has the same problem? I didn't say what problem my child has. His doctor is more than happy with him eating bread, cheese, fruit and the occasional bag of crisps. He tries other foods as well but that is what he had for his lunch.[/quote]Fussy eater stomach problems sounds very alike,I am not having ago it was just the shopping list made me giggle that's it.

Our local morrisons was selling the mango ultra for 50p reduced to clear so that may be why you got for 50p also.

I'm a right old foodie, our daughter (deaf, affecting feeding in early years) "survived" on chocolate buttons (as per Dr' recommendation) & it was tearing us apart, so I understand the "shopping list" scenario entirely...
OP, key phrases worked for us till she was 10yrs old (& we still pull it out of the bag now) "one mouthful, try it be a FOOD EXPLORER" ..& we meant one mouthful, often of the same food ingredient she'd rejected before, done a different way, ...now she is a right go getter where trying new foods are concerned, & I have to give up lots of my favourites to make sure she gets a decent qty of foods & treats she now would fight me for.
Best thing we ever did was to let her totter around on the floor of our hotel room in canada & fish MY surimi & cheese (BIG BLOCKS) & just gnaw, ..there she also grew a passion for shared chocolate milk, ..liking some of what DAD ate was also a key motivator for her (in that i'd say, i'm making this for me, you want a nibble)!? ..to kickstart her, it worked as a duplicitous tactic & jast as a dad making food & sharing off my plate.
Also (& i'll get knocked for this) we took her out to wetherspoons, for their kids meal deals & to give us some peace / relaxation, ..generally spag bol for her, fruit etc.. which also has her used to doing more of the grown up inclusion thing, ..mucky d's happens less than 1x per year as a result.
Don't give up, do what it takes & keep on trying, just don't let them run down the fast food route or there lies trouble, education in food is important, if they see you genuinely enthuse they are more likely to "click" where food is concerned.
A big breakthrough was cooking with my daughter, (we did lots & took pics of the prepped food) ..& her realisation when we compared the ingredients of a pre-sous vide cooked chilled rack of ribs, compared to our own "larder based" secret sauce using many of those ingredients that she swore she hated but had been consuming all along.
chili sauce (common in baked beans) & garlic ..context beng " it was there all along" so try this..."food x" ..or this has a touch more of ingredient "x" what do you think !?
Slow haul, don't force it, don't give in, ...be warned you'll have to share the good steak, asparagus etc long term ...she's into her curries now, from korma to thai green, snails, liver, heart, kidney (& pies with the aforementioned). ..I have to fight for a share of sushi, squid etc.
If your kid likes bacon, make some bacon with them, if roast pork, show them how to make good crackling..etc.
Food is interchangeable like lego (buildng blocks) ..don't dump an ingredient based on one or two "don't likes".
IF we'd made her have more than a mouthful each time she'd have switched off, but she knew if she didn't like it she would not be pushed, thus taste & texture improved.
uphill battle that really is worth fighting for because the reward helps set them up for life.

In the interests of balance I'd just like to repeat the point that any of the other items on that receipt are entirely irrelevant and nobody here has the right to judge. Any one of us could have our basket in a supermarket analysed and taken out of context so we shouldn't be judging people based solely on what they purchased in Morrisons on a Bank Holiday Monday morning.
By the same token, a person using a Disabled Parking Space isn't necessarily "fine" just because they can walk unaided today or "look okay" to you. Walk a mile in that person's shoes first before making sneering judgmental statements from behind your keyboard.

Thanks. For our evening meal we give him what we have and he will sometimes dip a fork in and lick the fork and that is it. We don't force him, we let him touch food and use his hands or a fork/spoon. Very relaxed. He will eat some foods off our plates so we just put extra on our plates and feed him from ours. Evening meals are a lot less stressful than they used to be since we've been letting him have things like cheese and bread for lunch. I think because lunch is so relaxed now and he eats enough he doesn't get to tea feeling starving and panicking about food. That's my theory anyway lol
He was born early weighting under 5lb. We've always struggled with his weight and at the moment you can see his ribs so I don't really care about the negative comments. If my son is eating food I don't care much that he's eating crisps. He has had 1 McDonalds when he turned 2 we had one on the way back from the zoo. He ate the fries and drank milk. It is definitely not going to be a regular thing at all. :smiley:
Thank you everyone for the positive comments :smiley:

Don't forget the chocolate buttons, & perhaps, borrow a proper (refrigerant ice cream maker) ..get some vanilla extract & a copy of ben & jerry's ice cream making book, ...get him into his ice cream, ...& try the lidl cornish (not 1/2 bad, not quite mackies but not far off, ..plenty of calories, & obviously nesqik, (ice cream milkshake / morning milkshake) ..& I recommend ACE lidl mixed fruit & veg drink in 1.5?? litre for around £1 it's light & not harsh, nor acidic to try & cover some of those "top up" bases, obviously meaning discussing the ingredients & reinforcing the "likes" arising from them.
How old is he incidentally?

have you bought some of the proper LMF tritan sporks? ..that was actually one of out early successes (I use em for airline eats) colourful choices , ..we have quite a collection, the moulding is far nicer than the knock offs & tritan is safe.
metallic colours, plain etc.. we had more success with those than a kids knife & fork, part of the reason being how blunt the knife was, ..she plumped for a steak knife & spork (cos sporks cut so badly)...helped keep her cutting & eating throught the 1.5hr suppers we became so used to, ..how things have changed :smiley:
