Tuesday Tips

Here are some money saving tips just for you!

TIP #1:  Instead of buying new toys, just buy a pack of paper plates.  They are a highly coveted item from my pantry! 

TIP #2:  Why do we buy chairs?  It's so much more fun to sit on the table...

TIP #3:  Seriously, no need for new toys... Just show your children where you keep your kitchen towels, and they'll stay busy for days!

TIP #4:  Why do we buy Barbies?  A piece of string can keep your child occupied all day - the possibilities are endless!

Not even kidding, my kids fight over string...

TIP #5:  Buy new batteries!  (On sale or with a coupon, of course)  It makes your child feel like they have brand new toys once you get those new batteries in them!

The best thing I did this day was to put batteries in the Zhu zhu pets from last Christmas... the kids loved it!

TIP #6:  Don't waste your money on those pretend dishes when your kids could just use the real thing!

These two items are Jonah's favorite toys.  A small stainless steel bowl and a tiny whisk keeps him busy for hours! 

TIP #7:  No need to waste your money on buying spoons plus you won't have to wash them after meal time!

My children teach me so much about saving money...
