Frugal tip 10/28

Happy Meal boxes - Save the boxes, and when your child needs to be cheered up, make them their own happy meal! Add your own nutritious foods and a favorite toy. Or pick up inexpensive items from the dollar store: stickers, special pencils, etc (usually 10 for a dollar) as the toy.

Do you still get boxes for Happy Meals? They put ours in bags now

Ours too, Chelle.

But thanks for the cool idea!

Ok, I'm going a bit off topic here, but here they don't even add the cookies to happy meals anymore.
How sad.

I had a friend that used the kids frozen meal boxes and made her own frozen meals in them, it took awhile for the kids to figure it out, but they loved it!!

This would be great to have on hand when the kids are sick or something. You could also use a gift bag from the dollar store and load it with goodies for a sick child. Coloring books, crayons, stickers, -okay, now I have to go do this! LOL My kids like the teenybopper mags when they are sick. They would also like coloring books and stuff too, though. My oldest DD likes to draw anime people.
