Now in springtime you can start planting the garden. Plant a "theme garden," such as a salad or herb garden or a garden to supply pizza toppings. Include a small child's garden. For a preschooler, a two-foot plot is fine. The adult should prepare the soil-it's hard work for kids. Make rows small.

Many stores provide unit price labels to help customers make informed price decisions. Look for shelf labeling to help you compare the price of similar products.
