Teaching My Kids at Publix and Saving 81%!

I actually took the whole family shopping with me today! I would give the boys an assignment and they would go with dad to find it. I let them pick what they wanted from the bakery since I had a $2.50 off $10 coupon from Kroger. My 8-yr-old actually paid attention this time to the screen as we checked out and was announcing to all that could hear him about the money we were saving. It was fun and hopefully a learning experience for the kids. Here is what we purchased:
