Re: getting kids involved with the food budget..

I let the kids have cheap sleeping bags, but they are only used on gmas floor when visiting, not outside, and not all the time, so I figure the pink butterfly and darthvader are more fun for the short limited need. but mine was a full sized from highschool and it is still good, will be handed to my oldest the first time he really needs one.

the kids love to grocery shop.. we discuss every purchase the nite before and sort the coupons... they even unpack the trunk of the car when we get home and put things away...
very smart kids...

i think the small grocery carts at giant eagle are a great idea... the kids love to shop using them... they have really learned alot from me... lol....lexie told me, get the item from the back... something i have showed her many times... always check the date..... for freshness.
the old items are usually the upfront.
