Lower priced things are way down or way up on shelves. I also found out that clipping coupons is often no help - they're often for the premium brands. -- Username desertmom Fall Clothes Time to go through your kid's fall/winter clothes because Once Upon A Child is now taking clothes.

This can help resolve disputes if a product isn't delivered as promised. The problem with this protection is that it doesn't necessarily cover the full price of your bid. Purchases are currently protected for up $1,000, that means if you get burned buying a $2,000 computer, PayPal will only cover half of it. Shoe Boxes for Building Kids Blocks Use safe shoe boxes and other similar size boxes to make large building blocks for you kids. Tape the lid of the box on and then cover them with contact paper. You can even find contact paper with a brick or wood pattern on it.

I am always looking for things to teach them and do with them. I was wondering if you guys had any ideas. I am not very creative at all. I like the butter idea, I think we will try that one. So, I would love any ideas! Keep in mind they are delinquents, so no knives, explosives, or stuff like that! http://www.mommysavers.com/discussion/index.php?showtopic=36009 Scared of Ghosts 3 days ago my son suddenly announced that he saw a ghost in his room. I didn't even know that he knew what a ghost was (he just turned 3). I asked him where he had heard of ghosts and he said "Henry is scared of ghosts." He's a Thomas train addict so I'm assuming he saw it on Thomas. (PBS has little 5 minute Thomas segments that I let him watch). He has talked about ghosts non stop since then. He woke up this morning at 4:45 am screaming my name...he said there were ghosts in his room. He was so freaked out that he refused to stay in his room and never fell back asleep. He was truly scared. http://www.mommysavers.com/discussion/index.php?showtopic=36150 To visit all the forums: http://www.mommysavers.com/discussion/index.php ------------------------------ What's Cooking: Crockpot Cubed Steaks with Gravy Cubed steaks Flour Onion Soup Gravy Mix Water Dip cubed steaks in flour and layer them in your crockpot.
