Have you started school shopping yet? How much do you think you'll spend on supplies?

$10, my sons preschool supplies everything but a backpack and we will be using last years. I do however buy crayons, glue, paper and other things when I see a 25ยข sale. I plan to keep it under $10 but I do want a 3 hole punch for my own personal use, hope to find it on sale for back to school pricing.

I did! I picked up a couple of packs of PaperMate pens that were in the clearance bin! I don't expect to spend more than $20 on supplies for 2 high schoolers and a middle schooler. We have pretty much everything we need except notebooks, folders, and pencils.

We aren't there just yet. I do remember my Mom doing it just before school started though.

And the extras for the class really add up ( tissue, Clorox wipes, and hand Sanitizer)

So far I bought rulers, notebook paper, pink erasers, 2 crayon boxes, folders, glue sticks,, bottles of glue, markers, and colored pencils. I still have a lot more to buy.

I've started and it's ridiculous. Notebooks are cheap, but prices have went up on filler paper, etc.
Still have expo markers, headphones (we've used her old headphones for 2 years and I think they're broken), etc
