Every year your children will receive a list of school supplies full of all the things they need for the next school year. Whether it was sent home at the end of the school year, received via email from the school towards the end of summer, or saw it posted online on the school’s website or Facebook page, the information is out there!
There’s the usual stuff such as a notebook, paper, pencils pre sharpened, crayons, markers, colored pencils, erasers, lunchbox, backpack, tissues, hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes, and a few other things. Saving money on these items comes in handy for that monthly budget, so be sure to shop the tax free holiday or Prime Day! But many of us tend to forget about the other stuff we’ll need or maybe you’re new to the school system and no one told you about these other needed items. Today my friends, I am here to help prepare you for the rest of the school year’s much needed supplies!
