Purchasing all of these items in a package will cost me roughly $50.00. I personally think $50 is just too much to spend on school supplies, so I’m going to try and get them cheaper this weekend when they have the big sales. I know that the Office Depot near my house sells the crayons he needs for like a nickel this weekend, and they sell the rulers for a penny. So, I’m thinking I can probably buy all the stuff separately for a cheaper deal. I’m hoping anyway. If I can’t find some of his stuff, I’ll end up buying the package, so wish me luck! :)

Wow that’s a lot of requirements. What’s with the forced color coding?

That is a lot of stuff, and yeah, definately go look for it individually. The stores always have really killer back to school says. The only downside being have to put up with other stressed parents.

What’s sad is that, from my memory, we always had school supply lists from the teachers, and yet half the stuff they “required” we didn’t actually need or use.

I saved nearly $40 buying the stuff individually, can you believe that? I am shocked at how much they mark up the prices of stuff just because it’s in a package and “convenient”.

That looks like our kids school supply list times 3! It’s costly isn’t it? Plus they made us spend $12 per kid for I’m not sure what. LOL

Lol.. they just made you give them a $12 fee or something and didn’t clarify what it was for? I’d be ANNOYED!
