Shop happy!
My favorite memory of back-to-school shopping is going with my mom and my sister to hit up all the office supply stores! Because my mother’s a teacher who needs school supplies, we’d help her out by keeping track of what was going to go on sale at each store. Many times, we would end up with piles of 1-cent school supplies!
I would look so forward to back to school shopping with my mom and my sister every year. Nothing beats a girls’ day out and who doesn’t love new clothes and supplies?
I always loved picking out my new Trapper Keeper, no joke! The school supplies always topped back to school clothing/shoes shopping for me.
I loved the new, fresh pencils and crisp, white paper. Sounds crazy, but it’s true!
I have always had an obsession with school supplies. I still do! New pens, new paper, new markers – it’s just always been my favorite part!
I could soo use this! I’ve been needing some new shoes badly! 🙂
My favorite memory is always begging my mom for the expensive cool stuff….hah, she’d always go straight to the little center display and get everything for a dollar 😛 Smart mom!
My favorite back-to-school memory is picking out my supplies. They all had to match! I used to go to the Sanrio (Hello Kitty) store and buy just about everything they had in the pattern of choice for the year, even if I didn’t need it.
Now, clothes weren’t nearly as fun. I remember literally plopping down in the middle of the store and refusing to try on any more clothes…and now that I have my own children, I’m paying for that ;-).
For me, back to school shopping always meant new, sensible & sturdy shoes. Something I hated but my mother revelled in wrestling me in to. Fond memories 🙂
