Hate to see what a typical back to school supply list costs this year.

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.

My daughter went up 3 shoe sizes in a year. That sucks when she had 7 pair of dance shoes. Grew a foot in JH.
She is almost 5' 11" and 25 years old.

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.

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

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.

I think the M-TH school days are stupid. Our son's school was looking at going to a 4 day school week and I went to the school board meeting and asked the board what they think that means for families that have both parents who work Monday through Friday jobs. Kids don't need a 3 day weekend. It's not like they are working some ****ing 60 hour a week job they need a long weekend to recover from.
