Re: getting kids involved with the food budget..
i guess, my kids don't know that the money exist at all. They are 3 and 1. I usually use cc everywhere (because I get rewards).
But my 3yr old knows about coupons. When we go shopping, I have a coupon for almost every item. Or I showe him the picture of item in the add, and he helps me to find that item. The coupons usually have the pictures on them too. I give the coupons to my son and tell him which coupon is for which item. Then, at the checkout my son gives them to the cashier.
I guess, he thinks that we get the stuff in exchange for coupons. I need to fix that. Should I start using cash? I never even keep cahs in my wallet. Only some emergency $1's and quarters in my car if the place dosn't take plastic.
