Let’s be honest.
School shopping has not been fun since we were on the receiving end. The 90s were great.
Do you remember the smell of fresh paper, newly sharpened pencils, fruit-scented erasers, and new clothes on the first day of school?
Remember the utter glee of racing through the school supplies aisle to pick out a colorful Lisa Frank TrapperKeeper? It was a baller move to procure the 64 Crayola pack with the crayon sharpener in the back. And, if you got a Wiz Too Backpack you were officially a cool kid!
Oh, the nostalgia.
Fast forward to 2021, school shopping for our kids can be downright stressful. Sure, we want them to have the same fun as we did, but let’s be honest, it’s not the same.
I mean they don’t even sell Trapper Keepers or Wiz Too Backpacks!
Images courtesy of eBay and Poshmark. These items are selling for $60-$350 per item. Anyone got one laying around I can have and flip?
I just picture parents frantically grabbing glue bottles, crayons, and scissors out of vertical cubbies in the middle of an aisle.
Let’s not even start talking about how we have to buy multiples for the whole classroom.
Oy. Vey.
As many of our children transition from virtual school to post-pandemic in-person learning, we have enough stress on our plates so let’s work smarter not harder.
