My daughter hates going coupon shopping with me because I always have coupons and comp ads. I always get her something for her being so patient.Well the other day I bought a few cases of sodas and lemonade/koolaid for .10 a package and sugar for .99 a bag. She wanted to know how she could make and save some money, I told her I would help her open a lemonade stand. Within the first 10 minutes she made 7.00 and for the whole hour she made 9.50. Then she asked me how much she owed me for the sodas and stuff and then she realized I had got them free at WALMART when I told her thats what I do when I am shopping. So she has been trying to get me to go shopping now to get her more sodas. She was like that is more money for me. KIDS LOL

What a Fantastic way to teach your kids about couponing & saving money!

[Kmchamplin]

That is great! I loved it when my kids had lemonade stands and I always try to stop and buy some from the neighbor kids.

[LindseyLouXOX]

That's a great idea, how cute!

GO MOM!!! Way to start the entreprenural spirit! She is so cute. I was just like that I found that selling stuff was easier than doing chores to make money.

That's so funny.

It's great that you are teaching her about making her own money. As a child I used to ride my bike to the local 7-11 and stock up on penny candy. Then I would sell it for 3-4 cents more per piece back in the neighborhood.

Money mgmt is a great thing to teach our children.

I used to do well W/ my lemonade stand, usually between $15-20 a day!!! I used to make the stuff my self, even remember stirring it with my hands! Too cute!

Ya she has figured it if she stays open every day for the next 30 days and makes 10.00 a day that will be 300.00. Her eyes got really big when i made her figure that. She is not doing too good at saving though she bought her a nintendo ds today. I usually match what she has saved and since she had 9.00 i put in 9.00 so she could get it. I told her I was gonna have a garage sale this weekend and she said I will help "just more money for my lemonade stand" LOL She is so smart for a 10 yr old
