My kids are reusing binders from last year and clothes aren’t even on the radar. Each got one new pair of jeans on sale at Walmart for $10 and they still have shirts left over from summer and some jeans from last year that they haven’t outgrown.
Paper and pencils are about all I’m doing this year. And I intend on buying a huge stack of both while they are like a dime a pack or something and use it all year long.
Smart mom.
Yep. I bought $50 worth of clothes for my three girls today. I told them they have to wait until it starts to get cold for anything else.
I’m worried about the school supplies though. I spent over $200 last year for four children. The teachers are NOT getting everything they demand this year.
Check out thrift stores and yard sales. Cheaper, and better quality, and more variety than WalMart.
Next weekend is also 'tax free' shopping in Missouri, a yearly occurrence for back to school shopping.
The problem with Walmart jeans is that they fray at the bottom shortly after purchase... at least that has been my experience.
