Especially in the candy store! My Achilles heels usually are there - especially near the chocolate - and kitchen gear. There have been times when my 5-year-old's reminded me that "if it's not on the list, we're not buying it." I follow the same system with my guys, except we've been a little off track lately because they're still flush from Christmas cash. They didn't <em>that</em> much -- we just don't get out much. So they haven't had many tough decisions lately other than the ones I've artificially created by letting them take only $2 with them at a time, but when they do it's kind of neat to see them work through it.
