Okay, so I'm pretty sure we'll get one for Maeve for xmas (along with a shopping cart). I'm debating between these two (both by Battat I think):

http://www.huttoys.com/6224316871.html (sorry, don't know how to post the actual pics!)

and

http://www.target.com/Play-Wonder-Mini-Market-Set/dp/B000R092UC/sr=1-7/qid=1226417222/ref=sr_1_7/181-5769687-6858745?ie=UTF8&index=target&rh=k%3Aplay%20market&page=1

With shipping, the Target one is about $130 vs. the $170 of the top one. However, the top one includes the food, basket and cash register. Not that we'd need the basket since we'll get a shopping cart, but the other stuff would be nice. We already have some play food but just food, nothing like the ketchup/cereal boxes, etc...

Anyone know if that cash register is a decent one? If we did the more basic one, we'd have to get a cash register anyway and I'm thinking that might put us close to the $170 anyway...

Any thoughts?! Thanks!
(Why oh why couldn't I have thought ahead and caught that Target one on clearance this summer!)

JMO, but the one that comes with all the stuff, seems like a better deal to me.

Not sure if you are a Sam's Club member or not, but Sam's Club has the all-inclusive market for $128.68. I don't know how much shipping costs.

I'm not one, I did look into that. There's one near DH's work, I'm wondering if he could get a one-day pass or something, buy something small and then bring it home and we could use it that night...

ETA: Just checked estimated shipping online and even if I were a member, shipping would be $35, putting it right around the same as the huttoys one (that one has free shipping).
