Is $100 , $150 , or $200 enough money for back to school shopping?
1) Go through your closet and clean it out. Make two piles (1) donate to charity (2) recycle to turn it to something cuter (there are lots of videos on youtube to do that) 2) Make a list of what you will need depending on what you have outgrown. It also depends what grade you are going into. Anywhere around late middle school or high school I suggest this: 2-4 new pairs of jeans 2-3 new pairs of shoes (or more if you MUST need it) 8-10 new tops (7 if your looking to save money) jewelry and accessories depending on what you have in terms of clothing. a new purse, new jewelry collection would all just be luxury if you have enough $$$ $150 seems fine TIPS: shop on sale days, nordstrom is having one huge one TOMORROW. Wednesdays are great for shopping and saving at the stores you listed. make sure you go through the back of the store to make sure there is something similiar on clearance you can buy. DON'T feel pressured to buy anything too expensive or over the topo!
Back to school shopping, how much money do you spend?
If I were you I'd ask for about $200-$350. A whole new wardrobe is A LOT of clothing! Regular T-shirts retail for approx. $10 ea and plain jeans are about $20. Believe it or not, this stuff adds up! To get more out of your money I'd reccomend avoiding pricey shops. Places like Marshalls, Target & TJ Maxx have super cute clothing for realllly cheap! Or if you are interested in the designer brands I'd reccomend going to Plato's Closet! At Plato's Closet you'll find a huge selection of trendy, designer styles as well as those every day basics you can't live without - all at up to 70% off mall retail prices! Most of their stores buy and sell girls sizes 0/1 to 15/16 and guys size 28 to 40 waist. However, please check with your local store as sizes may vary. They're not your typical secondhand clothing store. The gently used clothing and accessories that they buy are: top-name brands, cool, hip, trendy, clean and in good condition. Typically they buy items that have been in the retail stores within the past 12 to 18 months and are current styles still seen in the mall. Check with your local store for their specific buying standards and needs as well as hours of operation and buying hours as these vary somewhat by location Check out their website for more info or to see if there is one near you! http://www.platoscloset.com/ Best Of Luck!
How many of you are doing your back to school shopping online or are you going to regular stores? Where are you doing most of your shopping?
This came up in my news feed because of morgan, haha.And I LOVE back to school shopping. It is my favourite thing to do, ever.I mostly do mine in-store with the odd ordered t-shirt.When I go back to school shopping it always ends in me hating myself and my older sister yelling at me. I don't go until 2–3 weeks before school starts.I get my clothes from these stores. I highly recommend them.American apparel. This is quite expensive sometimes as one plain t-shirt can be 50$. So I wouldn't recommend buying all your clothes from here. They only go up to size 12, so if you are overweight in any way you can't go.Walmart. Oddly enough I have found cute jeans from Walmart and I get my tank tops from here. Simply because tank tops aren't supposed to be 30$ so why would I pay that?H&M. This is my favourite store. Some of its kind of expensive but most of it is good priced. I love their clothes. I live for it.Hot topic. I buy all of my anime shirts from here.Pink - Victoria's Secret. I don't really recommend this. My parents don't like spending money on clothes so I don't shop here often. One of my “Pink” shirts was 75$. It's honestly not worth it. Walmart has the same thing basically for 10$.Garage. I don't know if this is American too but I love it. It's not too bad in price and has cute clothes.For online, I shop at ROMWE. I love it and there are some pretty cute shirts from Japan and stuff.That's pretty much all I shop at. Aside from under armour for the rare sweater.

How much should I spend for back to school shopping?
I'm going to be a freshman in high school next year. Right now I'm 13 , but will be 14 at the start of the school year. I don't want to look like a bum in my opening years of high school. I made a list of clothes that i want to get (that can last the whole year) Brands 1. Hollister 2. American Eagle 3. Abercrombie&Fitch 4. H&M shirts 5. Urban Outfitters 6. Adidas 7. Polo Ralph Lauren 8. Nautica 9. Hollister Jeans & Pants 10. Aeropostale Jeans 11. Nike Shoes Jordan retro 10 powerblue - $120 (my size) KD vi (any) - $100 Lebron soldier vii galaxy - around $90-100 I did the math and I'm estimated to spend over $700 . I didn't tell my dad yet, but I'm not even sure if he'll spend that much for school. My highschool has no uniform, all my previous schools did (so he didn't have to spend much) I feel like I'm being greedy, but not sure. Am I spending the right amount for school clothes? Can you make a list of how much to buy out of the list i made above (optional) And yes, I really need the shoes.. It matches with my clothes. If I'm wrong, how much should I be spending (including shoes) .
My Daughter and Back-to-School Shopping?
Look, i was never given a huge amount of money and told to shop. my parents taught me the importance of a dollar. my family isnt filthy rich, so the way i used to shop at her age was with my parents. My mom would take me to a store like TJ maxx or JC penney's and we'd pick out things together. we'll also look around malls for sales and discounts. that way i could find stuff i like for cheap. Trust me, you will teach her a valuable lesson on money. i never owned really expensive clothing, and i survived. I still cringe at price tags in certain stores. now that i earn my own money and buy my own stuff, i still tend to go for cheaper clothes and sales, i can get more that way! and trends will fade, tell her not to worry about trends and just go for pieces she likes. i really wouldnt suggest just giving her money and letting her loose, what she will do is go to those exact stores you mentioned and buy a couple of expensive things. then she will go home and complain about not having enough clothes and guilt-trip you into giving her more money. im not a parent but i can imagine that it must be hard to deny your child of "coolness" and popularity, but they'll grow out of it. this wont be such a big deal to her in a few years if you set her straight. if you dont, she'll forever be obsessed with material things and won't be good with her money. i survived without abercrombie, so can she good luck!
How much should I spend on back to school shopping?
Hey girl! My name is Kendall and I'm in 8th grade so I know all about this 1. Yes, take your purse. I always put my cell phone down and sometimes forget it in stores! 2. It kinda depends on what you want to by, but i think $200 sounds pretty good :-) Shirts: 4-5ish Sweaters: None! The winter stuff isn't in yet Jeans: 3ish pairs Shoes: Sounds good but get a decent pair of running shoes (nike shoxs) for gym Jewelry: Whatever you like! But rememver to take it off for gym. Makeup: Whatever you feel comfortable with. Lip gloss, mascara,... But I won't waste my money at Sephora. I think they are way to over-priced. Maybelline makes great eye liner! Good luck shopping! :-)
How do I convince my mom to go back to school shopping?
My daughter's 13, and, I'm the opposite of your mom--I get everything way early! As a mom, here's my idea. I'd say to her without emotion, just matter-of-factly, what you just said above. Mom, I don't want to wait until right before school starts to get clothing and supplies; I'm afraid most things will be gone--especially sale things--and we'll end up paying full price or going without. I have a little money saved up to contribute, and, I'm wondering if you have plans on (fill in the blank--a day you know your mother to be available and hopefully in a good mood!) ??"
What is your opinion on back to school shopping, as a parent?
I used to think it was selfish and they just wanted my money spent on stuff they didn’t want to buy.Then I went to work for a school as a teacher’s aid— wow, I felt so bad. I saw what the teachers used their own money for, and how little they make. I mean I worked for 3 years and I brought home less than 800.00/ a month. The teachers made double what I did- but once insurance and retirement and taxes was taken out- it was not much. Yet they fund their own classrooms- most of the time all by themselves.So now- I buy extra all year long, I also make sure and ask teachers what else they need in the classroom- is there a student who couldn’t get supplies? I do not think twice now that I’ve been on the other side of it.We should support all teachers, and educators and work with them- they are teaching our kids how to grow, learn and become something. Support that.
