WASHINGTON, D.C.--Everyone spends money, but not everyone knows how to get the most for what they spend. Nationwide, children spend billions of dollars for millions of products -- toys, video games, clothing, music, food, and more. To help the country's pre-teens smarten up about shopping, the Federal Trade Commission and the National Association of Attorneys General have joined forces in a major national education effort. The centerpiece of the campaign is "The Real Deal," a full-color, 12-page activity book.
