Hey hey errr body!! Welcome to my channel! We are just a few shorts weeks away from school starting again! Summer break is flying by. Come to Walmart with us as we shop for all the school supplies. We appreciate you being here. Subscribe if you haven’t already so you won’t miss my next video! Thanks for watching!
I left an extra large toilet paper or paper towels under the cart at Target and didn’t realize until I got home. People are honest though. When I called either the cart person or a customer turned it into customer service and I was able to go back and pick them up.
I used to absolutely hate summer coming to an end, but getting all new gear for school made the blow a lot easier.😂 Great shopping trip. I hope the kiddos have a great school year!
Thanks so much! I’m super anxious about it all cause for the first time in 15 and half years, there won’t be a little one with me every day. 😔 New phase of life for me but I suppose I will adjust. Even if I don’t want too 😢😆
I’m raising my nephew and I got to take him school supply shopping last week..got sent the list of the supplies and even a list from the teacher asking me to buy extra supplies for the class, I was like nahh that’s your job to get supplies for your own class not mine I’m only responsible for my nephew’s supplies
I find it wild that there are scared supplies in American classrooms. In Australia each kid has a pencil case and everything in there is theirs. Any shared supplies like paint are provided by the school and the only thing provided to the class by parents are things list tissues.
I wish that’s the way it was here. Or they just say… “send x amount of money and we will purchase necessary items”. It would make more sense to do that. When I was kid, what you brought to school with you, was yours, and that’s what you used. Now, you buy all the stuff, then the teachers take it all and the whole class shares. Which would be fine if all teachers were generous and kind and gave out items as needed. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. And I’m all for sharing with kids that are less fortunate, as long as mine also gets what he/she needs, ya know.
@@3chaotickids Where I went to primary school they gave you a book list at the end of the year and you filled in what you wanted, then took it to the local news agency or gave it back to the school. Then the week before school started you'd go pick up all your school supplies. You could go buy them yourself but most people didn't because it was easier. In high school they had a few specific things but otherwise it was 'get what you'll use'. I went to a private high school though that didn't have any government funded text book schemes so my parents ended up spending like $500 a year old school textbooks. Luckily you could mark if you wanted second hand copies and could sell yours back at the end of the year if they were in good condition.
I learned early to get plain folders and notebooks. I do buy the crayola, fiskars and pink pearl erasers but since they are shared and distributed I noticed my kid never had a pink pearl, the ones that actually erase. I would put one in his pencil box so he would have 2 a week or two later. And the pencil boxes don’t always come home. So there are supplies we have to keep at home. Sometimes the teachers have too much in bulk from a prior year. Mom’s with more than one know better to send zip lock bags. They also can’t store a years worth all at once in the closets in the room. We all learned from Covid remote they just need chrome book, maybe earbuds, pens, notebooks. I think he needed color pencils twice that year. Calculator if a certain grade. Scissors don’t need to be bought all the time. The lists are beyond weird. You know you are gifting supplies to the parent who can’t afford or the one would rather just get it for free. I have teachers in the family so things like Kleenex I would send every few months extra for the class. My dad was always giving the teeny box of 20 to make a point instead of regular size Kleenex box. The kids are not the teachers kids so it’s not fair for him or her to buy it. The school district should buy it. And napkins that actually absorb instead of that brown paper product. When I was in school my dad bought a pack of 24 pens and my sister and I shared the pens all year. My kid’s school used to ask for 48 pencils presharpened. And he constantly won pencils as prizes the novelty designed ones. Does she had out a pencil every week? 180/48. OMG. No they go for the kids who don’t bring. Not their fault. I could be a parent that doesn’t send or just bring the list. My question is how does she know what kid’s mama has money? And which kid doesn’t? That is quite a disturbing comment. I’m concerned a racial stereotype involved.
@@kristinesharp6286 See in Australia for kids that cant afford school supplies there are schemes available to them (some through the schools themselves) to make sure they have what they need. Every kid has a desk with their own tray so that their stuff stays in their spot. Classrooms will usually have back up supplies but for the most part each kid has their own notebooks and pencil cases with things in it. The only shared supplies are usually things like paint etc that is supplied by the school.
@@hannahxx17 they are not really shared supplies. All the kids do have their own box and they go to teacher for a new pencil, etc… what we have in the U.S. elementary school is ‘communal supplies’. 27 kids bring in 48 pencils each, in theory. Then she passes them out randomly. So your kids may end with the dollar store pencil that might break often instead of the Ticonderoga you sent to class. Then each kid asks for a pencil when theirs is unusable or lost. This teacher decided too many in her class did not send in pencils, this kid’s mama did send them in, so she was hoarding the pencils for some of the other students, perhaps new unexpected arrivals? Or she labeled this kid as rich. In the U.S. there are school supply drives where people donate items. Then parents can pick them up. But they are random items included in their backpack of supplies and may not match that child’s list. It’s more so the child enters the building feeling they are prepared for the start of the year and to get them excited about school beginning again. Also some drives do go to schools directly. If there is an income difficulty the family can apply for reduced or free school breakfast and lunch and fees for the year, field trips. Now our field trips are a bus to the museum, a movie, or candle making factory. At least until high school. Some years on those list very few things are scissor, box and crayons. One year I spent less than $5 on actual school supplies. But $30 more on paper towels, Kleenex, zip lock bags, reams of printer paper, etc… My son is special needs. There were some years he spent the year back and forth to mainstream class, even fully mainstream just the structured room if he got over whelmed. I only was asked for supplies for one of the rooms. I made sure to get the other teacher a book off her wish list for the classroom library at the book fair. But the teachers also probably share between classes as well. A few years the parent teacher org encouraged everyone to pay a fee and buy their supply kit for the room in bulk. I did that once. It came with red scissors. But my kid might have been given green scissors. They both cut. Just not the ones I sent. My pet peeve was the eraser. Not every store sold them, they recommended that brand cause the others are so crappy they just ends up smearing or rip paper. And I wanted it to not be a struggle so I went into a town two over just to buy them. I ended up getting a dozen through Amazon after that I could just pull them out as needed. Once they get to be 11 or so the communal supplies end and they just have their own. If I give 6 at the start of the year he loses them. If I give 2 at the start they last much longer. In the really young grades sometimes a teacher will say can someone send paper plates, Kleenex. Cause they ran out of their supply. And some do send. This is a rely on charity thing.
The 100 pack was $2.37 or $2.97 😆 My memory has gotten the better of me 🥴. But I was like, holy smokes! Paper wasn’t even on the list so I just got the one pack to same some coin!

Back to school shopping is always fun!
Back to school is always exciting
I left an extra large toilet paper or paper towels under the cart at Target and didn’t realize until I got home. People are honest though. When I called either the cart person or a customer turned it into customer service and I was able to go back and pick them up.
I turned in the bag. I hope the person got their stuff back. I felt so bad. Things are so expensive.
I used to absolutely hate summer coming to an end, but getting all new gear for school made the blow a lot easier.😂 Great shopping trip. I hope the kiddos have a great school year!
