Despite the denial of many kids and grown ups, back to school season is upon us. With school budgets shrinking, student supply lists are getting longer as teachers rely on families to equip the classroom. Can you believe some schools are requiring students to bring their own electronics?
Don’t fear, we’ve got a list of gadgets you’ll most likely need and tips on how to get a discount.
USB flash drives – There’s going to be a lot of typing in middle school and flash drives (aka thumb drives) are a cinch to use on different computers to allow your student to save his or her work and plug it into another computer later. You can now find thumb drives with cute designs like
4-pack of glue sticks are $.25 at Office Depot!

People often ask me, “How can I have really fun times with my family on a budget?”
This past weekend, I had such an amazing frugal family adventure with my son and daughter (hubby was working), that I decided to share our itinerary with you.
Saturday

- 8 a.m. – We attended a secret dance rehearsal in the Aquarium under Santa Monica Pier for a Heal the Bay awareness Flash Mob. (A flash mob is a large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place (more…)

The preppy look is back this season, among other fashion trends. Gals and guys are sporting their polo shirts, pressed khakis and sweater vests. The look that traditionally screams “expensive!” does not have to cost you a whole lot. Heres how to get the look on a budget.
Start by asking if older siblings, parents or grandparent might have clothes and accessories in their closets that fit the fad – and wont cost you a dime.

Lacking a reliable fashion sense, I asked Mary of The Recessionista Blog where she’s back to school shopping, what the biggest deals are, and how parents are stretching their dollars at thrift stores.
How is the economy affecting back to school shopping? There are people in this economy doing more back to school shopping at Goodwill and the Salvation Army. There are a lot of items that are new with tags on them from the department store. I saw good sneakers in the box, good jeans, tops.
