Isn't it great when you take your kids shopping and they show that they know how to look for a good deal, a sale, use a coupon?
My daughter does the same (actually, Big DS does as well.) And fortunately, my sister's 2 daughters are also big bargain hunters, so they like to show off their bargains to DD. It's cool that they encourage each other.
I just opened a thread on
teaching children to be frugal--so hop on over and share ideas on how you do it!
Bluebird, make sure you make an LLC (limited liability company) rather than incorporate. This protects your family's personal assets in case of any problems. You can find lots of books in the library telling you how to set up an LLC. My family did this last year as DH does a good bit of computer programming "on the side" and I do some freelance writing, so our LLC bills out for that work we do.
Anna, cool on the opportunity back at your old store. I'm sure some of your old customers will be happy to see your merchandise there.
A little splurge with DD this morning; she got up early and said, "I really want Chick-Fil-A for breakfast." As it happens, it's free-breakfast Friday today, so I said I'd take her over but she had to get the free thing, whatever it was, and she could get a hash browns to go with it. So I picked up the breakfast and hash browns for DD and Luke, who was happy when we got home and woke him up for his breakfast surprise. DD knows I would not do that unless it was free-breakfast day. Lucky us, it was Chicken Minis, so everyone liked it. I'm not sure the burrito would have gone over so well.
Lisa, I hope your DD will be feeling better soon. Glad your mom could be there for her.
