school shopping

August 5th, 2008 at 03:17 pm

so i have always helped my mom out with her bills and buying my little sister school clothes, pictures, supplies, ect. she is disabled and a single mom and dosent get any child support so she cant hardly make it. so i take my sister shopping this weekend for her school clothes. she is 12 this year, last year she wore the little girls sizes and we spent about $250 for her clothes. well she shot up like 3 inches and filled out so it was off to the juniors sizes this year and i was so shocked at how much more we had to spend! for the same amount of clothes it was about $400-$450! we shopped at aeropostale mostly for shirts, because you can get them for cheaper than walmart, then walmart and target for pants. it didnt really hurt my budget though, because i had worked enough overtime to cover the school expenses without cutting into our bill money, but it was still such a shocker!!!

    I am not looking forward to school clothes shopping either. Luckily my daughter gets a ton of hand me downs from her very fashionable older cousin. We just have to cover the basics for her which really isn't too bad. My son on the other hand doesn't get hand me downs from anyone so just about every he has has been bought new. He is still a toddler so I am able to get cute cheap things at Walmart and Target but I dread the time when he is a teenager and wants expensive sneakers Frown Also-the list of school supplies my daughter needs grows longer each year. I am starting to think the teachers are included some of their groceries on the list Smile

    It's really good of you to help your mom like that. I have helped my mom & grandma before when they were in a tight spot, but I know alot of young people that wouldn't think of it.
