I've also noticed they have lots at Michaels and even Sam's Club... I plan on doing an alternative certification program next school year so I've started picking a few things up here and there. If you tell us what you need, I will gladly donate to you and your classroom!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-728010007756300312.post-4126440592560319242010-08-28T19:03:05.871-05:002010-08-28T19:03:05.871-05:00my first year I spent almost $2000 on school stuff...my first year I spent almost $2000 on school stuff. yes that number is correct.

At my current job I got paid the full check at the end of the first week! <br /><br />I feel for you on the money spent for school stuff. It's ridiculous the lack of money we get to run a classroom. I swore that I won't do it this year because with my husband not having a job, I'm not putting my money into school. So far it's working, but I also inherited a lot of stuff from a retired teacher. It will get better!Sonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15897037441021642059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-728010007756300312.post-22858273462737960982010-08-26T18:29:38.630-05:002010-08-26T18:29:38.630-05:00YES!!

I had to wait over a month and a half after I started my job to actually get a decent paycheck! I ended up charging a lot. It took a couple of months to catch up!! I can't even imagine needing to also get things for a classroom!! So don't feel guilty! :)midwesterngalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12222845029911150289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-728010007756300312.post-90947182304561948632010-08-26T08:32:27.969-05:002010-08-26T08:32:27.969-05:00I am not a teacher but I am right there in the boa...I am not a teacher but I am right there in the boat with you girlfriend. I decided that I was done with taking out student loans (I only have 2 semesters left of school until I graduate in May 2011) so I have had to pay my tutiton, I had to buy my girlfriend a bridal shower gift this month, I have a car payment/ car insurance, c/c bills, I am broke as well, and it is ALWAYS when you have a million things you need to SAVE for......it is likely it wil be a Hard Candy Christmas for me hahaha Hang in there! Ive been digging into savings (I HATE THAT!!!) start saving every dime you can out of those pay checks and budget, budget, budget....it may take longer than you like but you'll bounce back!!JMBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08591352695786936694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-728010007756300312.post-61925860232723702922010-08-26T08:24:48.795-05:002010-08-26T08:24:48.795-05:00I.hear.that.

I've stupidly run up ahem a few ahem credit cards on clothes that were probably in style for one season and never worn again.

I feel the same way...only it's school books and stuff like that. I feel like I was so extravagant this month because I bought that dress for our engagements...but I NEEDED that!

I think it's criminal how little teachers are paid (my SIL is a teacher). Maybe you should set up a blog donation button for your classroom - I'd contribute! I just don't think it's fair that teachers are paid what they are, and then are expected to outfit so much of their class supplies as well!Jenny @ Practically Perfect...https://www.blogger.com/profile/12590373823861775665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-728010007756300312.post-29942543080689087872010-08-25T21:02:29.810-05:002010-08-25T21:02:29.810-05:00First time on your blog, it's adorable!!!
