I was able to get the "supplies" that were on my 5th graders list on sale ($.01, $.05, $.10, $.25) over a couple of weeks at Staples and used ink cartridges $3 coupons to pay for it. FIL had given me 3 cartridges and I had 2 that I redeemed. I picked up extra glue, crayons, markers, pencils, etc. to use at home and replace as needed through the school year. There is also a $30 supply fee to be paid when school starts.
For clothing we stopped at Goodwill a couple of weeks ago and found 5 pair of pants, 7 short sleeve shirts and about 10 long sleeve shirts for winter. I will keep an eye out for shoes to go on sale as she will need the next size tennis shoe before Christmas.
DD2 is pretty well set since I saved DD1's clothes and they always get clothes for Christmas.
