Prairie Eco-Thrifter

SEPTEMBER 28, 2015

Although I live 200+ miles away from my two grandkids, I try to get them for a week or so during the summer. There are many documented benefits to utilizing grandparents to watch grandkids. I’m one of them. On special occassions, now that I’m retired, I go to their house to watch them.

Family Balance Sheet

NOVEMBER 13, 2013

We received the information about our family in October, so I took advantage of the holiday sales to buy the gifts and food. The family that we “adopted” was a grandmother (I will call her Tanya, but not her real name) and her 3 grandkids. I helped Tanya unpack our food boxes and reviewed with her what we brought.

Saving With Shellie

MARCH 21, 2011

Last time this was available I got a sweet email from a reader who took her grandkids. When you share the Kids Eat Free coupon with a friends, they can get up to two free kids meals per adult entree. Want to go yourself? Just send the coupon to your spouse. For the price of a hamburger they all got to have a fun night out.
