Every year I dread the back to school season and all that it entails. Some of the supplies seem excessive to me. My 2nd grader doesn't need 24 pencils a school year. Is my 6th grader going to use 12 dry erase markers in one year.
Then I have supply shopping. The stores are crowded; and we have to make two trips. On average I spend $700 for back to school. That cost increases as each child gets older.
Then there are all the extra things during the year that have fees. The kids have limits when it comes to school activities and sports. For example, the kids cannot be in both Orchestra and Band. And they may each choose one school year sport and one summer sport to play.
I wish you all luck as you finish up your back to school shopping this year.
