@bgriffin, that's kind of similar to my situation. I wanted to negate food costs between jobs and it just grew into something larger.
Adding that while I don't do I lot of child-friendly shops, I do see them regularly and had one this past weekend that allowed kids at a hotel located by a major amusement park.
I brought a friend along, and their child. Ran up a bill over $1,500 and had 100% of our food, lodging an entertainment costs covered this weekend through mystery shopping (a small portion was a perk from my other job). I'll profit the fee from the assignment and I'm about 50% done with the narrative now, so if anyone with small children doesn't see the value in that, I assume they are making a lot more than me.
