I can not believe that August is almost over and school will be starting soon. So I have to ask you...Have you done your part to stimulate the economy? Summers are always full of garage sale bargains and this year the bargains are everywhere. So have you gotten out and bought a few things on the cheap and helped out the economy and a local family?

Okay, so maybe I am just making excuses for why I love to spend money. The truth though is that there are some great garage sales right now and I am taking advantage of it. They are a blessing for families that can not afford new things and for the families selling things.

James' dad loves garage sales. He goes out almost every Saturday. He has passed his love on to my girls. They love it when he takes them with. They each get money at the beginning of the trip. They get to pick out anything they want. They have started to learn a little about the real world so now they really think about how they should best spend their money.

It really does teach them a lot. I have even caught Nicole saying that she would not buy a certain candy that she wanted with her allowance since it was overpriced and she would rather get more for her money.
