Most expensive thing being a new pair of Jordan's, of course. $130. And then another, cheaper pair of Nike running shoes for the gym. A couple shirts, some hoodies, backpack etc.

I wish my kid could just be into Converse or Vans. Those are like $60 lol.

Luckily he has a grip of jeans that are still in new condition. I was like, dude, how the **** you have so many nice pairs of jeans, lol.
What about school notebooks, etc?

We only got our school clothes at the Treasury. Was a discount store cheaper than Kohls or Target today.

Up until age 11 we only got shoes that were tied together with a nylon zip tie through the top lace hole. We had to try them on with our feet together and couldn't move.

Later, we shopped at Marshall's, back when they carried "IRREGULARS" as noted on the tag. Was stuff with one off-colored thread through the weave, or a tiny hole or stain.

I got an orange Izod sweater that had a yellowish dot near the bottom of the sleeve. I bought that and only wore it with the sleeves scrunched up to conceal the blemish.

Until high school when I started buying my own stuff, I got 1 new shirt and 1 new pants. The rest came from garage sales.

Of course not. Gold boots would be cheaper than that.

That stuff is cheap. Not really sure what i spent on paper/pencils/pens etc. But it wasn't much. Not enough to move the needle enough for me to remember lol.

I do believe I'd smack the shit out of my son if he had the gall to ask me for $650 boots

School weeks M-F or M-Th? We do the four day school week. Which is nice to have a long weekend.

Pablo 07-30-2024 05:26 PM
My son is only 7, going on 8 so he doesn't care about fashion or anything at all yet. He'll get a $60 pair of Nike/Adidas/whatever shoes and a new backpack with some movie character/cartoon on it.

Clothes are always just sweats/shorts/athletic gear and hoodies so far so that is nice. Nothing too crazy.

I sure hope so. My 15 y/o has size 13 feet. Prices skyrocket at size 14 and above.

I have a 16yr that’s going into his Junior year. He worked his ass off this summer with the oil well service outfit. Little shits sitting on a small fortune for a kid. He’s a miser and won’t buy shit. So, 5 pairs of Ariat Jeans, $650 pair of Tecova boots, $175 Nike Vapor football cleats and we’re just getting started I think. I am balking on the $200 Sitka backpack he wants, he can buy that shit. Any of you sick of the Back to School season and just wish they’d get their ass back to school?

Wish school was year round with exceptions for fishing and hunting days, ****…
Tecova makes some awesome boots. Ostrich Belly? The Sitka backpack is sweet and will last hime years of hunting. Im all about the kid being outfitted right. Put it on the card dad

Same here.
Wonder if their bison Monterrey shoes are any good? They look comfortable.

My parents would pay for the Sears tennis shoes. If I wanted the Adidas that were popular I had to pay the difference. The white with red stripes were $19 and the blue stripes were $21.
