We work really hard to teach our girls about being smart with money. Zulily has the financially fit Money Savvy pig in Blue, Red or Green for $10.99. This is such a fun way to reinforce the concepts of saving, spending, donating and investing in cute Piggy Bank form!
What are some other creative ways you teach your kids about being frugal?
(thanks Lauren!)


Kroger has a number of fun markdowns right now. I ran in this morning to get more bread and milk (seems like an all too common errand) and had fun finding other deals too!
They have all of their holiday scents 50% off, plus they have marked down toys, wrapping paper, recordable story books, and even baking supplies if they have the holidays mentioned anywhere on the package.

With text book prices being so high, any way to save money is great. Kindle currently has a $10 eTextbook Credit available on Amazon!
Just enter the code ETXTBOOK to have the credit applied to your account.
The credit can be used toward buying or renting. Renting textbooks from a store or Kindle is a great way to save money and avoid having a ton of textbooks you’ll never use again. It only applies to certain titles, so give it a try if there is a book you need.
You must redeem the credit before 1/9/12.
Am I the only one who wishes I could have had all my 20 lb college textbooks on an eReader instead?
