But on the other hand we pay A LOT of taxes here for the school to be free. Of course we have to pay for backpacks - instead of buying a pink barbie-bag for my daughter I got a pink one with white dots and leather underneath- she can were this backpack for ever, it will never go out of style. We´re really lucky to get bags of clothes from another familly with older kids that my kids can chose from. They think it´s great to get new (to them) clothes, and I´m happy as long as I get them for free. We have really good thriftshops around here to.Cattishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04616869975336816098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1156719194860099075.post-8704970080474131162014-08-05T14:43:50.426-07:002014-08-05T14:43:50.426-07:00Love the idea of shopping at the thrift store for ...Love the idea of shopping at the thrift store for school supplies!Betsy Escandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13598482569526345086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1156719194860099075.post-54912000376848650812014-08-04T19:58:34.212-07:002014-08-04T19:58:34.212-07:00We hit the thrift store every year.

Some times, I even hit it in June when people are turning in their "old" school supplies and load up on the fancy binders with compartments and zippers than my oldest is into. <br /><br />Like you, we also invest in high quality lunch boxes and backpacks and are usually able to reuse year after year.Green Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133847111288382381noreply@blogger.com
