"HIGH TECH SHOPPING LIST. Never forget the milk or toilet paper again with the Smartshopper grocery list assistant ($70, smartshopperusa.com). Speak the names of the items you need into the portable device, then print out a list that's organized by grocery department."-Kristen Maxwell "This gadget keeps track of errands too."



DID YOU KNOW?




from WORKING MOTHER magazine February/ March 2009 (p.96)

"if you haven't tried grocery shopping online, try it now while at home with your new baby. Online stores like Peapod.com (which primarily serves Northeast and Midwest metro areas) and Netgrocer.com (which ships via FedEx to all 50 states) allow you to shop for everything from food to baby products within minutes [...] babiestravellite.com, which makes travel easier by delivering all the baby items you need right to the places your visiting."

In order to get kids to start saving money, "let them set a savings goal and invite others (grandparents?) to contribute. Go to smartypig.com.(TOTALLY FREE!!!)



"It's fine to let your preschoolers know that your family is trying to save money. IN fact, here are three ways to get him to pitch in. COUPONS-YOUR CHILD CAN CLIP THEM FROM THE PAPER OR HOLD THEM FOR YOU AT THE STORE (i have mine pull the coupons from the blinkie machines at the grocery store- he loves it!!!) RECYCLING-ASK YOUR KID TO SORT THE BOTTLES AND GO WITH YOU TO A RECYCLING CENTER WHERE YOU CAN TRADE THEM FOR MONEY. COINS- PUT YOUR CHILD IN CHARGE OF KEEPING THE FAMILY'S JAR FOR SMALL CHANGE."
