$5 Target Challenge: Teaching Kids Smart Shopping Habits

Yesterday, I took my daughter on a $5 Target Isle adventure—a little tradition we started to teach her about budgeting and making thoughtful choices. Watching her weigh the options between a sparkly notebook and a pack of colorful markers was a sweet reminder of how even small decisions can be big lessons. She finally settled on a puzzle, excited to spend time putting it together at home. These moments are more than just about what fits in the cart—they’re about building confidence and independence, one $5 decision at a time. Have you tried a budget challenge with your kids? I’d love to hear your stories! #FamilyFun #SmartShopping #ParentingWins #Parenting
