of the day: Can I teach my children how to coupon?
Yes! By all
means begin to teach your children how to save. Find great strategies and start
to teach them a little at a time. They will need simple strategies about
couponing and teach them how to look for deep discount plus savings.
Using simple math techniques for younger children can help. Remember to
keep it simple. SSFAM will soon start to sell selected coupon binders and tote bags made just for children.

Show
your children what you do to coupon.
This is a great way for them to love the math and logic behind what you
do! Try to get them to find coupons on dinners they may want to eat or
their favorite snacks. Even if they eat healthy, help them to review
health food store coupons. Teach them where they can find coupons online.
Question- Did you know that coupons can be used for Toy and game products?
Plus, you can find coupons for entertainment that children may enjoy.

On to the Giveaway!
If I won I would use the money to take my family out to dinner for a special treat.
This week I totally loved the Meal Planning worksheet. I have always wanted to get on a program. your worksheet is easy and not overwhelming. I can't wait to get the program going and have the whole family help select our menu.
Both my kids have been good help when it comes to clipping coupons. they know how much we save so they don't mind.
If I won the giveway I would add it to my household's grocery budget.
I've learned a lot about meal planning. I thought it was a good idea, but have now become interested to where I am actually planning a meal schedule for this upcoming week.
I haven't started to teach my kids to coupon, but I feel like my 4 year old would enjoy it soon.
I learned that I need to meal plan better! I'd use the money toward taking the kids to a water park this summer!
Mine are a little young, but I def. plan on teaching them!
I learned more about the different ways to save from the holiday sales!
I would use it to get coupon inserts for the ones that I missed or just have good deals that week
I love the ideas for the kids and can't wait to teach my little girl!
Awesome! The younger they learn, the better.
If I won, I would subscribe to the newspaper!

I learned that Walmart.com has printable coupons, thanks!

Great! Yes, they had them for a while. 🙂
I would put the cash towards our trip to the college for orientation in July!
I found and definitely will use, your great meal planning calender that we can print out! Thanks again for that 🙂
My son is 18 and not really into couponing unless it is for something he needs, like a video game 🙂
Ok and thanks Amanda. 🙂
I would use it towards bills.

I learned the importance of meal planning, I'm just going to have to stick to it better.

I have no children to teach but I have talked and showed my nieces. I think it's great to teach children early on how important it is to save therefore hopefully making it easier for them as they get older. I also like that you will soon be offering a coupon binder especially for them.

Wonderful Karen. 🙂
