Worried your kids are getting too pretentious for your Prius? Well, this middle-of-the-middle class, midwestern, minivan-motoring mom is here to help! Why not take 'em down a notch with these Prius Snobbery Offsets.

• No new Abercrombie this year. Buy last year's at the "gently-used" resale shop. Make them wear it.
• Clip coupons. And use them. In front of your kids. They make coupons for soy milk, I've seen them.
• Speaking of shopping, buy the store brand. Of everything. In front of your kids.
• Dress that buggy down with a clever bumper sticker - "I Brake For Garage Sales" comes to mind.
• Two words: Big Lots
• Two more words: State university.

Hope this helps!
