Not sure whats worse. Midnight Christmas shopping at Walmart or school supply shopping. Never thought I would have to throw elbows over school supplies.

Damn, either one sounds like a day at Wally World I wouldn't want to be there. At least on Black Friday you don't have to beat on kids huh?[Tooth]

Went on sunday. It was a day from hell! Shit scattered all over the place. People pushing to get the last white special erasers. It was absurd.

go a week early. Save the list from this year, use it next year early. Most likely the same items needed.

That's what we did too... Staples.com delivered to your home in 2 days. It probably cost us $5 more this way, but didn't have to go into walmart and fight the crowds

For you guys that have done this before. Why in the hell is my 5 year-old expected to show up with 48 No.2 pencils? The only thing I can think of is that I am supplying the whole school with pencils, especially for the kids of the parents that didn't buy any. Same thing with a ream of white printer paper.

Too think I spend less than $5 a semester on school supplies for uni.

The answer is yes and no.
Some supplies are for the school and some are for just your kid.
You should see the cases and cases of copy paper in the office after the kids bring in their school supplies.

the theory is that your kid will use 2 pencils a week throughout the school year. and if everyone brings the same yellow #2's your kid wont get shanked for her "hello kitty" pencil

Got to support single moms. That's why you got to hit up the clubs some times, if you know what I mean?

I don't have kids, nor do I goto Walmart but I have to believe amazon has to be a cheap option as well.

Here's my list that we bought a couple weeks ago.

Kindergarten: 2 boxes bold markers, 2 large boxes Kleenex, 48 #2 pencils, 1 full size back pack with name, 6 glue sticks, 1 fiscars(kid scissors) 1 box snack plastic bags, 2 boxs crayons 16 count, 1 dry erase marker(for 5 year olds that want to get high I guess) 1 ream paper, 2 large bacterial wipes, 1 box qt plastic bags, 3 boxes healthy snacks, 1 box 12 colored pencils, 2 wide rules spiraled notebook purple or yellow your choice.

I'd be happy just having to get the 48 pencils. Oh and they want 300.00 a month for the 6 hour day of kindergarten. I'm just glad I only have one kid. Wheew that could get expensive for a big family. See I'm tan because I work outside for a living, and they put me up to a color chart and I'm just a little off from it being all free.[Bang] thats a joke I kid I kid

I will just have my kid sit next to Stuvings [Tooth] That should save me a few $$$$$,
