We gave the kids a $1 raise for their allowance here because things cost so much more. Now they get $3 each week but have to put half into savings. Then I took them to cheap places to buy toys ($2 store and Chinatown). Translation? They got some good stuff here so far. Ben is in love with the Lion Dancers we saw all over the place for Chinese New Year in February. He wants a lion dancer costume but settled on a puppet for $8 of his allowance money. We looked at about 10 shops in Chinatown before deciding looking for the best price. He could pay $10 for the blue one he wanted or $8 for the purple one. He chose purple and is pretty happy with it.
