With the holidays right around the corner and shopping on everyone's mind, why not teach your kids a bit about making a "smart" buy decision. Remember the “blind taste test” we used to do? Why not do the same with your kids.
For instance, pick a generic cereal and a high-priced brand. Let the kids blindfold family members and ask them to taste each and give opinions. You can try this with lots of products (but don’t make the toilet paper test a blindfolded family activity).
You can also test organic or recycled products. As a family, you may decide to spring for some organic/recycled products that you’ll be willing to pay more for because they may taste better and be better for you and the environment. For more information go to www.childrensfinancialnetwork.com or eco-effect.net.
I love these suggestions! I will try them out and see how it goes. Thank you!!
