Can we pretend I’m a size 2 also?
And you’re right, most of the time the happy meal toys are anything but happy. If all three of my kids don’t get the same toy there is whining and pouting. If they do get the same toy, then princess wonders where her girly stuff is.
And it isn’t long before an unsuspecting visitor has sat upon the toy . . . and well, it just never ends.

We do the same thing. With 3 kids it gets too expensive to get 3 Happy Meals. If you really do want the toy you can buy it for $1- some of them make great stocking stuffers.

I must say, though, that the current toy is pretty fabulous! It is Madame Alexander dolls portraying the Wizard of Oz characters. I don’t know why I even bother to buy Happy Meals EVER. Here’s what happens:
*I order chicken nugget happy meal with apple dippers and apple juice.
*2-y-o daughter downs apple juice.
*Said daughter begs me for fries.
*She then eats her apples and more of my precious fries.
*She refuses to eat chicken nuggets after eating her apples and almost ALL of my fries.
*I cannot live without the fries, so I buy more.
Why not buy a huge fry and some apples? So healthy…….

that’s bizzare – i wore my size 2 dress today also!
also – you can get a double cheese burger, small fries, and a small drink off the dollar menu (i use to get happy meals for myself thinking they were cheaper). no need to pay for the toy!

heck, I’ll take a size 6!!
Since we have the one kid-o right now, I usually just share a meal with him. Like get the 2 cheeseburger meal…share the fries, each have a burger, and then just buy him a milk. We rarely do the Happy Meal thing too. CPT’s (crappy plastic toys) are my nemesis.

I concur Devon – When I peeked in my dd’s Happy meal yesterday and saw the Wizard of Oz Dorothy doll (complete with basket and Toto) – I gasped because I thought it was so nice lol!

That’s how we roll too. My kids don’t know about Happy Meals, or that kids have a french fry option (when Mommy is involved anyway. Daddy throws the whole gig off).

Good tips! I love any little way to save money! We had playgroup at McD’s this week and I fed my 2 year old before we got there. I wanted her to play but wasn’t in the mood to buy the grease. lol!
