Update: I took another look at the numbers and did a side-by-side comparison of Wal-Mart and Target. Check out the updated tables to see how the two stores compare.

It’s the Dog Days of Summer and somedays we just want to stay home and take it easy. I’ve put together the following list of ideas for when the kids start begging for screen time or claim they are bored. My kids are aged 5, 8, and 9 and these are ideas that...
