I've talked before about teaching your child now how to save money and live responsible. I have a cute story to share.
Madi got home from school and we were enjoying a snack with Mackenzie of Wheat Thins and Sargento cheese. Mackenzie is 2 1/2 and said, "Daddy bought these with a coupon!" Madi says, "Yeah, he did Mac- Mom, what did you pay for these?" I said "Free." She laughed and said, "Free crackers taste better than ones you pay for!" I got tickled and then she asked how much we paid for the cheese. I said .65 cents and she asked if that was for the entire package or the slices we were using. When she understood, she sat there thinking then said, "Our snack cost like less than a dime!"
Even a toddler will pay attention to what you are doing. And my girls seem to appreciate it already! And you will never get tired of your children thinking you are a Super Mom!

Too cute.
Man, I need a sale on mayo -- we are *out* It and olive oil, but this week looks pretty sucky for specials. May just have to do without for a week -- no big deal.
