[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 442338, member: 1233"] Why not teach Darrin to cut the coupons out> THen he can match them so that they are organized, I was about 6 when my mom started me doing this, and 9 when she turned it over to me. I had to go with her to the store and compare the price after coupon with the store brand price. If the coupon price was lower I got the deal. Then I got half of the $$ we saved. Use matching up the coupons (putting the same ones together) as a form of those memory games for him. lay them out and have him find the ones that match. Then have him give you the razor ones, the dog food ones, etc..... This teaches AMAZING math skills and sorting skills to kids. SKills that will help them at school and in life for the rest of their lives. My friends were aLL amazed that I had Wiz doing thisby age 4. He could read so why not. even before she could read Jess could match the pictures and know that two words were alike even if she couldn't read them. This was the first big coupon outing she has done and I haven't done register rewards in a long time so I didn't know all the details. The kids do like the price match stuff at walmart though. Esp on meat. Walmart has AWFUL meat prices and I cannot count the number of times i have stood there with my ad from another store and gotten other people to realize they could have meat at half the price of walmart - often they will find me at checkout or ask to borrow my paper and go pay and then return it to me.
