Getting Ready For School - 3 Weeks Left

2009-08-05T08:10:00.005-04:00

Happy Wednesday....I'm very excited today because I'm playing hookie from work to spend with my daughter, it's the only day we've done it this summer (besides weekends). We're planning a lazy morning, an hour or 2 at the community pool and then school clothes shopping. Her school requires collared shirts which are so difficult to find sometimes, especially inexpensive. The way she goes thru clothes I'm not wanting to spend lots of money (she is 7 if I hadn't mentioned that before). I'm going to look online for sales and hit a few of the local large stores - I'll let you know tonight what I come up with. Everyone have an awesome day!

Summer tends to get pretty expensive around here. Day camp when I'm working, extra activities when I'm not working, and now school shopping - Have you seen the list of school supplies the schools are giving out lately? I've started looking early and came accross some great deals, here is my daughters list and the best deals I found:

2 - dozen #2 pencils 49 cents Walmart, in center aisle - not advertised

1 - composition book 98 cents office depot http://bit.ly/npKfs

2 - boxes of 16 crayons 10 cents Walmart ( in the center aisle, not advertised)
