LOS ANGELES, Sept. 16 (UPI) -- To prepare her for life after the White House, Ellen DeGeneres took first lady Michelle Obama on a shopping trip to CVS which aired on DeGeneres' show Wednesday.

Accompanied by Secret Service who stood watch outside the store, DeGeneres and Obama grabbed a store flyer for coupons and a shopping cart, which DeGeneres insisted Obama push.

"You push the basket because nobody's gonna push it for you," DeGeneres told Obama.

Obama was the serious counterpart to DeGeneres' antics, which led to the first lady telling DeGeneres, "You are really not a good person to shop with."

The two sampled a box of wine and attempted to operate the self-checkout -- both firsts for Obama.

Obama got into the swing of things, scanning items through the register and handing them to DeGeneres who gave up on the bagging and left the items on the floor.

"You know, you are really annoying," Obama told her. "It's like taking a three-year-old to the store."
