Read to them the Berenstain Bears Get the Gimmies. It pretty much repeats what everyone has already said. Sister and Brother get the gimmies wherever they go and have fits when they don't get something. So they come up with a plan that if they ever get that way, then they don't get anything.

Something I've also done with my own kids (they're 6 and 4) is I've given them each a piggy bank and at the end of the day if they've been obedient, kind, etc....then they get a dollar at the end of the day. They can use their dollars whenever they wish when we go out. It gave them the value of money. For instance, my DS4 has figured out that if he waits until he has 4 dollars then he can get a Disney Cars car. It's wonderful! So if they ask for something I tell them to save for it and tell them how much it is. They'll either do that or forget about it.
