My mother always told me 'My mother always told me "Enough." so that's what I'm telling you'

Not that a child could grasp how much this amount could buy, but if you say '35,000' then they'll just ask why you aren't giving them more candy then. So the best route is probably an inexact 'Enough' or 'Plenty'.
