    Default My thrill for the month

    Today is our grandsons 5th bday. Our daughter being straped for money also, decided not to have a big party. But i printed a coupon for chucke cheese and token coupons, we took him there daddy had to work so it was just hubby and I, our daughter and the boys, made some cupcakes had pizza and gave him money in a card. How fortunate that toys rus is next door. We went there. His mommy says now when get in there you only have$ 40 dollars you go to the clearance section first. So When we get in there he ask the clerk where the clearance section was. He was able to buy $ 130 dollars of toys for $41.62. He did really well.
    If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal. Not to

    How awesome! My oldest spent his 5th birthday at Chuck E Cheese as well, and you would have thought he was in heaven!

    Glad you and your daughters values are rubbing off on the future generation!

    That's great! It sounds like he got a lot of good bargains and learned how to shop for the best deals in the process. .
