Remember when finding comfort school meant purchasing a few notebooks, a fresh box of crayons, and new shoes? Should you wore a uniform to school, it is likely you got one of those too; otherwise, you got 1 or 2 new outfits. That has been it.

Well, times have changed. The availability list now contains items that was previously given by the schools – like scissors, glue and tissues. Every child uses a new backpack, notebooks, paper, pens (red, blue and black), glue sticks, ruler, tape, scissors, markers, folders plus a calculator. In case you have two children and you shop the sales, you’ll probably still end up paying out over $100.00 in supplies alone. Knowning that doesn’t even count the brand new clothes your youngster “has to have” or even the fees which might be necessary for art projects, lab costs, etc.

Don’t even get me started on the supplies, including furniture and appliances, your child needs for school. Does it ever end?

Here are some ideas to save cash on oil paints in 2010.

1) Recycle – Determine what you have in your house. You probably have assorted crayons, markers, colored pencils, etc. available the home. Put these together in the pencil box and will save some dollars.

2) Re-use – Kids believe last year’s backpack must go, however a quick trip through the washer can provide it new life.

3) Reduce – Does your son or daughter possess a notebook from this past year which includes three pages of written material inside and 77 blank pages left? Have you find this notebook in the bin – or worse – the garbage? Might be a good time to talk about waste and keeping it as small as possible by letting essentially the most use possible from every item.
