We are all facing the same issues this season. Less $ in the pocket and more high end toys advertised. (not just kid toys) Nooks, gaming systems, iPads and more. Yet all of them have analog equivalents at a tiny fraction of the price.
virtual soccer standing in your living room or a soccer ball and some friends and actually go run around a play soccer. cost $15 or what a bout a sled in the winter.
Nook, Kindle, iPad: hundreds of dollars, real books: $0-$25 (a Library card is free)
Virtual art pads: Hundreds of dollars vs. real paper and pencils.
Now I realise there is a fair amount of irony in writing this on a laptop, especially as I might be one of the last people to grab a soccer ball and find some friends, but this is about saving money and still providing fun experiences for ourselves and our children.
