But I like going to the store and making it a family event. This year was no exception.
Well, maybe just one exception. We broke the rules. Over a school supply box.
This is what we were suppose to buy. A plastic box. For less than a $1.00.

breaking the rules
Have you made your way to Target or Wal-mart to do the BIG school supply shopping? Well, we did just the other day. I could have bought all these supplies through our local PTO. You pay them a nice little fee and your school supplies come boxed and ready for day one. No hassle, no worries, no fighting the other moms over the last set of watercolors that you have been looking all over town for.

And this is what we ended up buying. A nice little metal box with lock and key. For $12.99.
Ooops. Out the door goes the budget. And in the door is a happy little girl with the perfect school supply.

how sweet! :)
ReplyDeleteHaha I love the sad face! I break the rules all the time, Why should I pay 2.99 for a box of 8 crayons when I can get a 24 pack for .40?
ReplyDeletelove Katie's smile!!
ReplyDeletePicking out school supplies was always so exciting!
ReplyDeleteToo stinkin' funny! I bought that SAME "cheap" pencil box for my daughter and a camo one for my son. I justified it by not purchasing new backpacks this year :)
ReplyDeleteThere's gonna be some pencil box envy in that classroom for sure this year. =) We've yet to start our supply buying for this year - talk about breaking the rules... lol
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to refuse that sweet face, right? Maybe she'll lose less pencils and you'll end up saving money?
ReplyDeleterules are made to be broken! Way to go!
