Find one and run there as fast as you can! Deals are abundant if you don’t mind their brand of the items! $1.29 gallons of milk, $0.45 dozen eggs, $1.49 32 oz. spaghetti noodles, $0.35 boxes of macaroni & cheese, $0.89 16 oz. bags of frozen veggies, $0.75 hamburger and hot dog buns, $4.49 for 10-lb. bag of white rice…and more!

Consistency is key (disciplining children)
So, I have a 5 year (and 12 and 14 year olds, too, but this pertains mostly to the 5 year old). But I have learned that consistency is it. Whatever you choose to use as a means for disciplining your children, be CONSISTENT! Parenting is a hard enough job, so don’t make it any harder than it needs to be. I’ll ost our “time out rules” in a later post!
Here’s a good article! And some highlights from it…
1. Pick your priorities.
2. Brace yourself for a long haul.
3. Write reminders.
4. Time it right.
5. Expect resistance.
6. Don’t try to go it alone.
7. Make a point with wiggle room.
