Day 3 savings tip from a Facebook community member with 3 little chicks of her own.
We recycle used items from previous years. Often the kids have books that aren't used a lot, so I rip out the used pages and use book covers so the class and subject can be changed. A third of the books are saved each year. I also go through their pencils, crayons etc and sharpen them up to reuse. I buy black fabric pencil cases and lunch boxes so that they don't stain and depending on their condition, can be washed and reused for another year. I pick up clearance stationary items during the year and keep them in a box till next school year, and if you hang uniforms on the line inside out, the colour fades on the inside, not the outside, so they last longer.
