Is there another family on your street who will be walking for pick up too? Maybe you can trade off supervising a handful of kids?

Torrington Savings Bank was great to work with. They also hold and service the loans in house and do not resell. I highly recommend them!

Aldi in Hamden was $2.44 a few days ago.

Costco in Waterbury didnt have the 2 dozen eggs packs yesterday - only the expensive brown organic ones or the 7.5 dozen packs. They were cheap per egg, but I didn't need 90 eggs. ;)

Most of the libraries in the area have book clubs and other activities. Have her check out what's offered. :)

In the interest of creating more competition, this is my suggestion too! All kinds of things at all kinds of price points on Auction Ninja

For heavy duty use, I love my Cutco shears. They're a big tool though, so not really intended for fine work like pruning. They are excellent for de-boning a chicken, cutting thick plastic bindings, packaging, etc. I have one set for the kitchen and one in my garage tool box. I've had them for years and only bought the second pair so that I didn't have to worry about contamination in the kitchen. They separate for ease of cleaning and are dish washer safe.
