Tyler had needed a new pair of tennis shoes since the ones he was in were from August. Amazing enough they had lasted since school started and he actually outgrew them before they were worn through. I had told him when the weekend came we would go shopping for a new pair. He asked if he could get a pair of Nike's this time ( I guess he has finally outgrown the Stride Rites I adore). So, before leaving he said to me "Mom how much are we looking to spend?". I told him I wanted to spend in the $30 range, but I didn't know if we would find any that inexpensive. So before we left Tyler grabbed a pencil and paper and wrote down $30. We went to the mall and went to 5 stores. He wrote down the model number and price of each of his two favorite at each store. We then back tracked to two of the stores, where he then chose his pair: the cheapest pair we saw! A pair of Nike's for $24.99! I was so proud of his planning and bargain shopping. ( I promise I did not make him pick these, I REALLY let him choose)
