Today, my 6yo got to spend her hard-earned money on a watch. She has been saving for awhile and someone told her she could get one for $7 at WallyWorld. So as we look over the huge selection of seven-dollar watches, she spots one that is not only a watch, but has makeup and a mirror, plus a ring full of lip gloss with it! (Kinda like finding your dream house all decorated and furnished and ready to move in!) Then she notices this watch is on clearance for 3 dollars. She knits her brows together and says "I don't want to be a cheapskate, but if I get this one I will still have money left. But, I don't know if I should be a cheapskate." At this point I decided it was time to explain the word bargain to her! So she has been happily showing her big purchase to everyone she can, and has put on makeup at least a dozen times.

I love it when I go to buy something and it is on sale or even better clearance! Got to teach them how to find a bargain when they're young. It's great that you're teaching her how to save her money now!
