[LDELARGY]

MY KIDS START THE 20TH. I WONT KNOW WHAT THEY NEED UNTIL THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL. IM NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO IT BECAUSE EVERY YEAR WE SPEND OVER 100.00 BUCKS. I FEEL FOR YOUR DAUGHTER I KNOW WHAT SHE IS GOING THROUGH.

I don't think it is really that things are expensive, it's just the schools are requiring us to bring a lot more stuff. This year I spent over $50 on a first grader - and I didn't even get her a new backpack. Mandatory items like "puff paint" and a plain white shirt, plus CLOROX BRAND cleaning stuff and 2 different size of ZIPLOC BRAND bags... I don't even buy name brand cleaning stuff for my house. Anyway, it's once a year, I'd rather pay that than a babysitter!

May be a bit late, but if you are on FB, there are $$ saving sites that have been showing all the sales for scool items in all the stores such as Walmart, Target, Staples, etc.  My kids are 24 so I don't have to buy them any more.   Do a search for free samples on FB and you will see some of the sites come up.  There is also Budget Savvy Diva, that I rely on to see what is on sale, free samples, etc.

Back to school and holidays are just a bunch of stress for us!!! It's a money hungry world and you can never have enough!!

I am on the other side of school starting. Have no children in schoo. But Yea Hubby goes back to work 24/7 sucks.

[cloudsoup]

i was wondering why it felt like a zoo the last few times
i went to walmart... OH YEAH. back to school time! gah.

i don't have kids, but i do remember back-to-school lists
being hard on my mom. i teared up in second grade because
i had to settle for the rose-art stuff and not the crayola
brand. not because i desperately wanted crayola, but
because my mom just couldn't afford it and it hurt me
to see that, even at that age    it still makes me sad
to think back on it.
