I can’t believe that school will be starting before we know it! August is next week which means the mad dash to start getting things ready for back to school, my daughter is still too young to worry about things like school lockers because that is a high school extra thing around here, not lower grades. Unless you now get a school locker when you are in the fifth and six grade school we have, who knows, haven’t been in that school in many, many years.
As school starts, especially if you have a high school age child or even middle school age child you must start thinking about the paper, the pens, the crayons, the markers and things like clothing, shoes and accessories. I remember when I was in school I didn’t like that my Mom would buy my clothes at Ames, I always wanted the clothing that was “in style” and of course the clothing that was “in style” costs so much money that my single mother wasn’t going to dish out the money for that even if she could have afforded it.
Now as I watch my oldest grow up and get into the higher grades I see that she may be just like me in the area of wanting the best of the best, which means the most expensive in the eyes of children, and even in some adults. Am I right or am I a right? So as back to school time nears what are you looking to purchase for your children? Is it items for their school locker, clothing or something else far fetched that they are required to have for their classroom studies?

All of my grand children go to public school but they wear uniforms. I always get them their back packs and fill them with tissues, crayons, pencils etc..and of course I throw in some candy..I am the Mom-Mom; so I am allowed!
If your a good shopper like me you can get the good things for very little. I have found some top name brands for very little some even a dollar.
When I walk in to a store the first thing my eyes do is hit the clarence rack. You never know what you will find. I bought winter jackets big last year when they were 75% off so they would fit this year.
I also bought “school supplies” pen, pencil,ect. I went to staples and for @ $80 worth of things I only spent $30. That is for both Girls and myself.
I bought back packs half off, and right now if you go to staples you can get one free after mail in rebate.
So far with clothing, back packs, supplies, ect. I have spent probably around $100 for all three of us. I had to get scrubs and a TI for classes other wise it would be a lot less.
