My attempt at a Frugal Family night.

Here is my public service announcement for the day:

It is SHARK WEEK on Discovery!

::Post from last summer, but SHARK WEEK starts TONIGHT!::

My children have been crowded around the TV each night, sitting in the dark, freaking themselves out on the AWESOMENESS that shark week is! We look forward to this like people look forward to The Super Bowl, or The Olympics,  or new season of The Kardashians 🙂

I knew that shark week had to be coming up again as I had only a month before, finally gotten my 5 year old out of my bed and back into hers every night. That same irrational fear that I have about loosing my coupon binder, she has about sharks coming into her room at night. Go figure.

Tonight is the BIG night, we are watching the great whites at seal island. I thought we would make it even more fun and frugal to make up for last weeks disastrous non-frugal family night. I thought about having Sushi for dinner so we could get the real “shark” experience, but the kids voted me down.

We had fish sticks instead.

And shark punch, I froze shark gummies in ice cube trays. Then made blue Kool-Aid and mixed with Ginger Ale. I added the shark ice cubes and the kids were thrilled!

Total cost for dinner and entertainment: $7

Total saved from last week: $104

Total satisfaction that “money bags” had fish sticks for dinner (she hates them): Priceless!

Oh I don’t feel that bad for her, I hate fish sticks and had to eat them also!

Do you watch Shark Week?

I should totally work for Discovery… they need to pay me to advertise for them! 🙂
