The Dollar Store

I’m pretty sure no matter how old our kids are, we are constantly parenting. My recent conversations with Tess seem to include lots of financial advice. I feel like I have done a pretty good job of teaching her to be thrifty, only buy what she can afford, and avoid credit whenever possible.

She loves Target just as much as I do, and on occasion, we have to remind each other that you really can buy clothes at other stores besides Target, although neither of us really know’s why one would do that. We like not being overwhelmed by a large selection of clothing and accessories and we like the way our Target jeans fit!!! One time we walked into the ridiculously large Nordstrom Rack, and we practically had simultaneous Panic Attacks!!

Occasionally, I remind her that “The Dollar” store can be another awesome shopping option for certain items. Gift bags, cards, plates, soap, spatulas!!! You gotta browse ALL the isles!!

Here is the text I received from Tess a couple of days ago. I apologize for the language she uses, which I do take complete responsibility for!
