[quote=Anonymous]We still do a big shopping trip each summer before they head back to campus. We pay for all of the clothes/shoes/personal care items they need. We usually do the same thing before they head back to campus for Spring semester. Between those two trips, they buy the rest on their own.

They all work during the summer and save that money for during the semester because we don't allow jobs while they are in school.

They have access to the amazon account and all use that. They also each have a credit card and we pay the bill on that but they know it's not a free-for-all situation.

DD's college requires all students to have a meal plan regardless of where they live, so we pay for that. She has the commuter meal plan and usually spends around another $200/month on the cc eating out and buying groceries.

DS is in a fraternity so we pay for that and he gets 99% of his meals that way. He usually spends around $100/month on groceries and eating out.

DS2 still lives on campus so we pay for that and his meal plan. He spends maybe $100/month on food.

We don't pay for spring break trips. They have to save their money for those. [/quote]
