yes. i try to pick one expensive item (e.g. chicken cutlets) and then use very inexpensive side dishes. We had chicken cutlets this week with mashed potatos and tomato salad. Total cost was about $10. [ Reply | More

we have a HHI of over 750K and I shop at CP. There is no reason to spend $35 on a t-shirt for a baby or toddler, they either destroy it or outgrow instantly. Anyone who does is just trying to impress everyone else. The most that I will spend on any "play" item of clothes for DS is $20, but only if it is super cute. It's just a waste. Just becuase you are rich, doesn't mean you have to waste your money on nonsense. [ Reply | More

thanks. But I am no saint, I did just buy myself a $400 pair of shoes that I didn't need. But at least I will wear them well and not outgrow them. I spend money on my kids trust me, but buying babies and toddlers "designer" clothes, espeically play type clothes (maybe a fancy outfit for a special occassion I will spend money on) to me is like burning my money. Especially since DS could care less what he wearing. Who he is going to impress, the other toddlers? hte Nanny's?? It's just dumb IMO. [ Reply | More

no, we don't feel like we have plenty of money. we put money away for college for our dcs and for retirement, we spend a lot on insurance & taxes, and we bought a new house last year, and even though we sold our apt for about what we sold our house for, we've had to spend money on things like window treatments, landscaping etc. as well as had unexpected expenses, so we're not even going away for vaca this summer, we're staying home and hanging out at the town pool (wanted to join a club, but that has to wait till next year). our dcs are in public school (burbs) and we have only one car (volvo wagon).

300-400 depending on various things. Threadjack wise, I think UB should just have people fill in this one time, and then we could look over the demographic, name preferences, weights, body-fat percentages, breast versus bottle views etc. [ Reply | More

poll, vote once per login, results viewable in crosstabbed form, by location. So you can see ratios of income to house price, height and weight to dress size, weight gain and loss etc. [ Reply | More
