Plot
The Loud kids make a trip to the supermarket to do grocery shopping for Mom, but Lincoln has other plans.

Synopsis
The episode begins with Lincoln watching TV while eating a bowl of cereal. Suddenly, a TV announcement is presented showing a new cereal called "Zombie Bran". Excited, Lincoln runs towards Rita, who is unclogging the kitchen sink, and asks her if they can get the new cereal. She denies telling him that they have a very tight budget and that also they have a very big shopping list, so there's no money left for treats. But Lincoln convinces her saying that he can do the shopping and still have enough money for Zombie Bran, and while he do it she can do all the things she wants to during her free time. Rita then agrees. Lincoln prepares for go shopping but is stopped by his sisters, who want to accompany him. He tries to get rid of them, until Lynn says that they will help him to shop, so Lincoln accepts and all of them (except Lily) go shopping.

At the supermarket, the Loud kids are warned by the supermarket's manager. If they get caught making a mess, they'll be kicked out. Lincoln then begins to find all the products of the shopping list taking only the products that are half priced or in offer, but during his path, he is forced to stop his sisters' antics and avoid being caught by the manager.

Later, Lincoln manages to find all the products of the list, leaving enough money to buy Zombie Bran. But when he's going to grab the last box of cereal, the other kid (who wears similar clothes like him) take it, then he mocks Lincoln and runs to the cash register. Lincoln proceeds to chase him, and at the same time avoiding being caught by the manager. At the end, the manager catches the bratty kid and he and his mom are kicked out, and Lincoln finally gets the cereal.

After that, he brings all of his sisters to the cash register to pay for all the stuff he bought. They claim to him why such a hurry and he says that he's too close to obtain his cereal thanks to the deal he made with Mom, making that all the sisters begin to argue about it and subsequently begin to fight. During the brawl, Lincoln is pushed towards a stack of cans accommodated by Bobby, dumping all of them to the floor. The manager then kicks out the Loud siblings without their purchases. Mom picks them up back to home and says to Lincoln how angry she is because he couldn't do the shopping, making his sisters feel guilty and sorry for him.

The next day, Lincoln is watching TV at his house while eating the same boring cereal alongside Lily, feeling sad about what happened yesterday. After seeing another Zombie Bran announcement and turning it off, his sisters enter the house imitating a horde of zombies. Lincoln believes it's a joke, but then he's glad to see they bought the cereal. They apologize to him saying that it was the least they can do, as it was their fault that he couldn't get it. In appreciation of what they did, Lincoln imitates a zombie and then begins a food fight with his sisters using the cereal. The episode ends with Lily making a zombie sound towards the audience.
