Home-cooked snacks in previous happy meal packaging
A single mother was irritated at spending $15 of her hard-earned money on each trip to buy Happy Meals for her children. So one day, she made the identical dinner from previously saved packaging and served it to her kids as a surprise.
It worked out great – her kids didn’t notice much of a difference, and they loved it! This is far superior than telling the children that it’s too pricey or saying no. It made her feel like such a wonderful parent, and she is, in fact, one.
