I wish that I would've bought my son a backpack when they went on sale last summer. I guess I can't complain that much though because that will be the only really big purchase that I'm making for him to start school.
We bought 2 notebooks, crayons, scissors and a pencil sharpener when these were on sale a couple of weeks ago. I bought a huge pack of glue sticks last year so he has a great start for this year---they go threw these like wildfire!! We have plenty of pencils that I received signing up for freebies. Grandma is sending him a new lunchbox like the one he had last year!
My Mom is so small that she buys little boys t-shirts when they are on sale. She wears a 12-14 (perfect for my son). Since is a clothes fanatic and gets tired of wearing the same things after just a few times. She is sending 5 shirts to my son--and he is just thrilled with this because he misses her so much.
I am going to hit GoodWill here soon to see if I can find him 3-4 pairs of jean shorts. The Goodwill stores here are nothing compared to the ones where I lived in Pa.
I'm also looking for a good deal on shoes.
Right before school, he will get a haircut--$8.00 is the cheapest cut I can find around here and the lady did a really nice job.
I dont know about everyone else but I am looking forward to school starting again!!
