Highly rated VTech 2-in-1 Shop and Cook Playset for $39.96 - $41.21

What a clever toy!  This VTech 2-in-1 Shop and Cook Playset transforms from a talking shopping cart into a play kitchen (if only my actual kitchen would do that), doubling your child's fun and play experience.  Not surprisingly, the reviews are excellent: 35 Amazon customers gave this toy 4.7 out of 5 stars and 19 Walmart customers gave it 4.9 out of 5 stars.

Walmart currently has got the lowest price around on the VTech 2-in-1 Shop and Cook Playset at $39.96, but there is no shipping available, only in-store pickup, so if that works for you, get it at Walmart.

Amazon has got the VTech 2-in-1 Shop and Cook Playset at $41.21 but it includes free shipping (and for the extra $1.25, I'd go with the free shipping, you'll save the money on gas and bother).

(FYI, Target has it for $44.99 and Toys R Us has it for $49.99.)
