We get very generous hand-me-downs, so I think clothes are OK.
I ordered supplies through the local drug store, so hopefully when the intro letter comes, there aren't too many other things to pick up. I'll have a 1.5 weeks old on the first day, so I sure hope all is done soon!

Re: cannot believe school is less than a month away....are you guys done school shopping?
Both of my kids received 20 pairs of hand me down pants. I need to get them some new long sleeve shirts. I just ordered gap warmest jackets with the 35% off coupon today. I got school supplies when they were on sale a few weeks ago. I need to go through their clothing from last year to see what still fits before purchasing more clothing for them.

We have all their school supplies. Haven't really picked up much clothes yet, but they both have a bunch from last year that still fit, so I'm not going too crazy anyway.

I picked up their school supplies at the end of last school year, through the school's PTA fundraiser. I am all set with supplies. They have their book bags and lunch packs from last year too.
They wear uniforms, so DS is all set, he will get another year with his! I did buy him some new school pants, but I only had to get 2 pairs and they were only $8.99 each!
DD is entering Kindergarten and her first year in a uniforms, so I ordered her the uniforms she needs. Plus, I am lucky in that the gym uniform is unisex, so she can wear any of DS's hand-me-downs.
The only thing I have left to do is get them school shoes. I'll probably take a ride to the Bass outlet later this week.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH. I dont want to go back to work.  
I have about half of their supplies and clothing. Nothing for me yet. I just looked at the calendar and I got back in 2 weeks and a couple days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
ETA: Most schools now have their supply list online and you can usually purchase 99% of your items from Staples online. It gets shipped out right away and normally before school its free shipping!

DD is all set for school. I got all her supplies, back pack, lunch box, sneakers, and shoes. The weather is usually warm until mid October so she usually still wears most of her spring/summer clothes like tanks, t's, skorts and shorts until then. For the most part she just switches to leggings and sweatshirts over her tanks when it gets cooler.

I'm pretty much done. He is good for clothing for now, school supplies are purchased, he has new sneakers, backpack, and lunch box. I just have to put together the change of clothing and find an old t-shirt of my husband's to use for a smock.

Supplies have been done for a while.
They are using the same lunchboxes as last year.
I get a lot of hand-me-downs for DD but DS is going to need some clothes. Have to go through their closets a.s.a.p. and thredup.com some clothes.
If winter jackets are out I need to take care of that as well.
And shoes will probably be today or tomorrow.

DW is on top of all of it. She's sorting through their clothes and getting rid of stuff that doesn't fit, and getting new clothes to replace them. They both have new shoes. She's been steadily buying supplies, based on what's on sale that week.

Re: cannot believe school is less than a month away....are you guys done school shopping?
I'm only buying sneakers and supplies now, clothes can wait until it gets a little cooler. They hardly wore any of their summer clothes being they lived in bathing suites all summer so their clothes still look new. And I can't believe that school is almost here, before we know it christmas stuff will be out in the stores ugh...

Re: cannot believe school is less than a month away....are you guys done school shopping?
We were done buying supplies by mid to late July. Once Target started putting them out. I do keep picking up stuff that I see on sale just to have it in storage. He runs out of stuff so fast I like having more just sitting in the closet.
Clothes we haven't started yet. We have good months were we can spend and bad months. August was a bad month so we are pretty much broke. So I am hoping beginning of September I can super shop and get him clothes and such. He really needs sneakers and underwear. So much to get, so little cash.

I am pretty much done. DD's supply list was oddly small but no complaints and SS is starting High School so no supply list as of yet. Got them each some outfits and they both still has last year stuff that still fits. I am sure I'll get DD a few more pairs of shoes though.
