Back to school


Two years ago we figured we could actually wait UNTIL August to purchase school supplies. We were wrong. All the necessities were running low & the choice of lunch bags was very limited. Last year we were smarter and went at the end of July, but we missed a few sales. This year, we were smarter yet. Back to school shopping started in July! A few weeks ago, when Staples had their "buy 12-pencils for 4 cents", we went. Last week, Target started coming out with their back to school supplies. So today was the day. After church we headed to Target. For $106, here's a sample of a few things we purchased:

Crayola crayons: 22 cents

Pink eraser: 20 cents

1-inch binder: $3.49

Purell: $2.99

Ziplock bags: $2.50

Spiral notebook: $3.99

Seeing the look of excitement on Mason's face when he got to choose his very first lunchbox (he chose 'Cars'): Priceless

oh yes, we purchased our backpacks last week when they were on sale. Hope this one lasts longer than the one last year! Thank goodness for the Mariner moose freebie!
