[quote=Anonymous]We leave cash in a pouch with DD's library card, our membership cards, etc for her use. We've told her that we're imagining spending about $100/month on incidentals/outings, but that doesn't count anything we ask her to buy, replacing any supplies or anything that's a grocery store purchased meal (i.e., if she decides she wants to cook something normal for DD and buys the ingredients, that just offsets future grocery store purchases, so that doesn't count to our extras budgeting). She generally tells us when she spends money (always if it's an "outing" because it comes up when she tells us about the day) or a food treat (because we try to make sure DD doesn't accidentally get 2 ice creams in one day;)), but not always (e.g., occasionally we'll find apples in the fridge and assume she bought them with the money). No problems and, if anything, the money has disappeared slower than we expected.[/quote]
