So, we grabbed Kip's kindergarten supplies while we were out and about today. I think I bought more stuff for him than I did for myself the whole time I was in college. Thankfully, I had a few things on hand from random sales earlier this year, and Nana had helped out a little by getting him a school box, crayons, and glue sticks as part of his birthday goodies this summer. (When did construction paper get so expensive??) We are still short (6) 8ct packs of crayons--which are a mystery to find. (Can't I just get a couple more 24ct??) And I still can't quite figure out what he is going to do with all those glue sticks! (Large vs small...does it really matter?) Needless to say, I was happier with my Office Depot trip. : )

Tip for teachers out there --hand out your supply list at the end of the year for the next year. That will prevent us bargain shoppers from going CrAzY!
