My Little Couponer!

My oldest got off the bus and was chatting away about her great lunch I made her and how full she was. She then says, "I think X's mom does coupons too because we had the exact same Fruit Roll Up in our lunches today!" Then she goes on to say "Does X's mom know about your blog because if she doesn't, I will tell X all about it tomorrow!"

X's mom is a reader and she knows who she is! She was already doing great at Publix before we started talking about it a few months ago. I just get nervous using a child's name online- I've seen those commercials about how anyone can see what you are posting on the Internet.

We both obviously scored on the Publix Fruit Roll-Up deal last week.

I think this is a cute story but like I've said before- children pay attention. Obviously, they don't understand the financial blessing to couponing but they certainly appreciate the benefits of having a full pantry and lots of choices for lunch, snacks and meals.

When we got home and I asked what the girls wanted for a snack- my oldest went to the pantry and started looking around. She said, "I know we have popcorn but where in the world do I find it? How much food do you have in here???"

Made me laugh and smile but I just had another thought. How crazy is it that I have adult critics very close/related to me but my child who is about to be 6 TOTALLY gets it? I don't care anymore because I feel like a great mom when my child loves all her choices each day for lunch, school snack and after school snack. And I'm saving a ton!!
