I second Ahermitt's idea of giving him a second week to see what he's learned. <br /><br />My kids are too young to have learned this stuff first hand, but I am planning on implementing some kind of thing where I have them help me meal plan and shop on our budget.<br />Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09766716788178729762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-66751608067666306272013-02-28T10:31:38.341-06:002013-02-28T10:31:38.341-06:00Very smart.

For instance, he can buy pasta and sauce, and maybe some ground beef and eat that for a few meals. A box of pasta and jar of sauce cost the same as a bag of chips. Get veggies, peanut butter and jelly form Aldies or a less expensive store. Find yoghurt coupons.. etc. <br /><br /><br /><br />Ahermitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12246307693236606434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-16503163441111598312013-02-28T09:44:05.320-06:002013-02-28T09:44:05.320-06:00Haven't done this...
