Grandparent Money Tips

• Single scoops are usually plenty — grandkids' eyes are bigger than their stomachs with ice cream. Start small and work up.
• Weekday afternoons skip the weekend line and sometimes come with daily specials — ask if there's a flavor of the day.
• Many shops offer a "kid's size" smaller than the small that's not on the menu. Worth asking.
