CONTEST FOR KIDS

Sorry I'm late in posting this, I had a bad headache and had to get the household back in order before I could get back on the computer.
I would like to do a small contest for kids to enter. The prize this time will be a Bic Mark it Marker, probably the color blue or green.
The contest is to come up with an acronym for coupons. For example:

Coupons
Offer
Unbelievable
Prices
On
Necessary
Sales

This can be a joint effort between you and your child, you do not need to mention your child's name if you do not want to. Just post the acronym with a way to get back in touch with you in case your child is the winner. The contest will go until Wednesday, October 29. I am going to try to have a simple contest each Saturday that encourages kids to think about different ways to help your household save money and also encourage them in a fun way to write down their thoughts. In case you are wondering, I will not be the judge. My daughter and a older friend that we haven't picked yet will be the judges. Make sure you put your comment under the post
Contest for kids. Tell your friends, and of course subscribing to this post guarantees you will know fast what the latest giveaway might be!
Something very thoughtful my daughter has started doing is to grab coupons that are on each aisle and looks to see if the coupons are helpful or not for that particular grocery trip! Great practical way to do math! My 5 year old has also started looking at the prices on everything and saying Look mama, there's a 99! Kids are great! Thank the Lord He let's us share in the responsibility of raising them!

    Ok, so my 8 year old daughter worked on this and I thought it was pretty funny! I know her "u" isn't a real word, but it works! :-)

    Coupons
    On
    Un-grocery-list
    Purchases
    Offer
    Neat
    Snacks

    I am sure this comes from the fact that we will be at the store and the kids will see a sale sign on something they like and will ask, "Do we have a coupon for that?" If we do, sometimes they will get it if it's cheap enough.
