I was just wondering how much everyone spend on BTS supplies. Not to be nosy, but our supplies seem to be kinds expensive around here. Especially for the older kids.

Re: How much do you spend on BTS?

For this year, I bought Ally's supplies thru the school - they cost me almost $50. Last year I spent over $100 on Drew's school supplies.

Over $100 with the 3 kids in school, including backpacks and all supplies. Last year was worse, Olivia was in montessori and the supply fee was $100 alone, then I shopped for the boys....

Not much. Homeschooling is cheaper in some ways. i don't have to buy a school wardrobe for one thing. Next year, we will have to buy dd a computer. If she's going to online school, she'll need her own computer. This year, we are winging it.

Re: How much do you spend on BTS?

Is this including everything? Because between shoes, new clothes, back packs, lunch bags, and paper, pencils and stuff, we spend a buttload.

I know each kid gets 5 outfits to start the year out with and 40.00 each for shoes (hey they are still little...I don't have those 100.00 shoes yet...LOL)

It is really ridiculous how much we spend to send our kids back to school.

I'm not quite sure. I'd have to figure out what I bought.

Re: How much do you spend on BTS?

For the three kiddos JUST for BTS supplies NOT including the stupid crap they want you to buy (like 3 bottles of germ killer, baggies etc) costs around $150. BTS costs me a TON of $$ every year. John is supposed to be buying their shoes but we will see if that happens. I have spent roughly $200 on clothes JUST for Emily and Zach since they are the two that need them but Zach still needs everything from new underwear to more jeans and tops. Zachary literally only has 3prs of jeans, 3 prs of shorts and absolutely NO winter tops or jackets yet for the year. I wish the kid would stop growing! LOL They have enough to start out with-the rest I will pick up little by little as I can afford it.

Re: How much do you spend on BTS?

I hear ya, Krista! I spent over $100 JUST on actual supplies for Drew last year - that doesn't include clothes. I almost had a heart attack. They ask us to buy some really weird and expensive stuff. I complained to the school and the school board. I might live in an expensive district, but that is just way over the top!

Clothes just always depend. Ally always seems to have plenty of jeans since she gets so many hand-me-downs, but I will still get her at least 2 new outfits to start school. Drew is where I will be spending the money this year. He is into the men's separtment now, so his clothes are getting more expensive. We are already looking for shoes, which will cost a minumum of $40 or $50, usually more unless I can get them on sale. He wears a 10.5 shoe! Plus he is going to need all new pants - nothing from last year fits. Lucky for us he got a whole new wardrobe for summer (nice stuff) and will and be able to wear alot of it for school until early November. But I figure I'll have to spend at least $150 on clothes for him. His jeans are like $30 each.
