Remember when returning to school meant investing in a few notebooks, a whole new box of crayons, and new shoes? If you wore a uniform to school, you most likely got some of those too; otherwise, you have one or two new outfits. That was it.
Well, times have changed. The provision list now contains goods that had been given by the schools – like scissors, glue and tissues. Every child uses a new backpack, notebooks, paper, pens (red, blue and black), glue sticks, ruler, tape, scissors, markers, folders along with a calculator. For those who have two children and also you shop the sales, you’ll probably still find yourself spending a lot more than $100.00 in supplies alone. And that doesn’t even count the new clothes your son or daughter “has to have” or the fees which can be needed for art projects, lab costs, etc.
Don’t even get me started on the supplies, including furniture and appliances, your youngster needs for school. Can it ever end?
