Mondays are daddy-daughter days. We go to gymnastics in the morning and we try and do a "chore" in the afternoon. Today was a life lesson in how rewarding recycling can be! We started by moving our cans, milk cartons and bottles into the garbage bags.
A short drive and we were at our bottle depot!
Because of the risk of pirates taking our bottle bounty, Megan brought her guard dog!
What can I say, a good idea is a good idea!
Megan was eager to help put the cartons on the counter for counting.
As we waited, we got a chance to look around the factory and Megan liked this machine that took the bottles up the conveyor belt and sorted them on the other end!
We got our bottle count and Megan was eager to cash it in quickly...well not so quickly that she didn't notice we were on CCTV and who can resist watching yourself on TV...LOL!
Our bottle depot also gives suckers to kids, so that was one reward! The other was $$$ and Megan was quick to ask to put it in her pocket!
And now the connection to "saving" - some of the money bought us a treat on the way home (loaf bread from Starbucks...yummy!) and the rest made its way to the piggy-bank!
A penny saved is a penny earned...or some other saying like that!!
