Has anyone ventured out and purchased school supplies yet? I actually purchased them early, before the first day of school. I always expect to spend a lot of money. However, this year, I feel that my kids looked for more deals than last. My son found four spiral binders for $1. Then he proudly told me that if he had purchased the spiral binders that were not packaged together, it would have cost twice as much. Not to be outdone, the daughter also purchased the bundled spiral binders. If it was just her, I suspect that she wouldn't have cared. She has a different perspective about money than our son.
Many families have kids that use money differently. The challenge that I have is to teach them the same thing, but through differently ways.
Good luck shopping and happy teaching
