It was Camden’s turn today to go take that inferno of a gift card to Safeway, since it was burning a hole in his pocket.
Camden really didn’t have a whole lot in mind, except he HAD to have a bag of chips. We also didn’t have a ton of time, as both kids had sports practice (swim/hockey) at the same time, because of course they did. Combined with the fact that Camden has the hardest time making decisions when it comes to spending money, he took it upon himself to say he was only going to get a couple of things because he didn't have time to decide.I thought that was mature of him to say.

So what do 11 year old’s buy when they get (almost) free reign? A bag of bbq chips. Sweettart flavored gum (you know Sour Patch Kids, the candy?) A jar of Nutella (that he’s NOT sharing) Necessities, you know.
These THREE things ended up being $16, because groceries are stupid in Alaska. Especially Kodiak, Alaska.
But, he justified that the jar of nutella would make him like, ten sandwiches, so honestly, that's fair.
The gum was his favorite, he said it's so "flavorful" and keeps asking if I wanted to taste one. No, thank you very much, that sounds like the worst flavor of gum there ever could be. But that was part of the deal, use the money to buy something that Mom would never say yes to, so how could I say no?
Honestly, this has been such a fun social experiment. I can't wait for them to go on their next shopping spree.
