I decided to take my kids over to Wal-Mart to buy their school supplies this morning. I know, I know there are a lot of great deals on school supplies at other stores, but I just wanted to get it done in the quickest and easiest way. Yes, in some cases I'd rather not hunt for deals and the best possible prices. Their school supply lists had a LOT more items than last year, and I have to say that I was definitely not a savvy shopper today. I still have one or two more items from their lists that I need to buy. I'm guessing that once I buy everything it will cost about $50.00 per child. Does that sound ridiculous to you?

Oh, and we still need to buy their uniforms for school...another item that we won't be getting any good deals on. I'm hoping that they still have a little room in their uniform shirts from last year, and that we will only need to buy new pants/shorts right now. We'll see though.

How are you guys doing on back to school shopping? I felt so strange going through the line at Wal-Mart without a single coupon today. I guess I save in groceries and toiletries so that the sting of paying full price on other items isn't so bad...I'm not sure about that, because it still stings. :)
