Tosha isn't going to school, yet. I don’t spend on school clothes for Alec because he works and pays for his own now. Tosha isn’t going to school, yet.

Since my daughter is small and doesn't grow much during the year, I buy a bit bigger or buy the elastic waists that you can make bigger or smaller. We don't need gym uniforms too. We're lucky because we don't need our school's name on the shirts like some schools do. I don’t spend that much as I buy during sales or from the discount store here.

I spent $40 this week just on jeans - and those were four pairs of Toughskins on sale! To make it even worse, I know I'll be buying pants again sooner rather than later. I just bought seven pairs in March and only four survive - the boy is rough on the knees, to say the least. Why go gently off a playground structure when you can jump? Luckily, his shirts from last year still fit so that isn't a factor. But I bet I'll be buying shoes three or four times during the year - most brands seem to be made out of Kleenex these days.
