I think that my kids are watching...

I have been coming home with so many bargains lately and I always have to show off my latest finds to the whole family.  Sometimes I wonder if they think "oh no, here she goes again"!!  My daughter is learning about money in school and so is always asking about how much things cost and asking "if we buy that will it use up all of our money?".   Recently she asked me why I was using coupons and I was able to explain that each coupon was worth money that would be taken off of our bill at the store.  She suddenly became much more interested and has wanted to help any time I am cutting coupons.  I am enjoying getting to teach her how to find the best deal and save money.  

This week she had a report due at school and was supposed to talk about the country of her choice.  She chose Russia (with a little help from Mom and Dad who have both been there so knew that we could give some fun help with the report).  They were allowed to bring snacks to share with the other students during their report so we got online and found a Russian Market in our town.  We went and picked out a few things and were headed home.  Suddenly I heard a gasp from the backseat and Jenna yelled out "Mom, we forgot to use coupons"!!
