[quote=Anonymous]My biggest complaint was that I didn't realize it listed brand specific items and we were really struggling to figure out exactly what we were looking for. DD is going into 3rd and starting a new school. Previous school had a pretty generic list - glue sticks, pencils, composition book. New school had very specific folders, some single ones, some multi- packs. And it was specifying certain material for some and we didn't realize that the description referred to the material. I laughed at the 4 pack b/ w composition book followed by 1 b/w composition book. Uh, why not just list 5 b/w composition books.

I also had to Google what a flair pen was. Jeez, 39 years old and been buying pens for years, but I didn't remember that Papermate had a style called Flair. I thought it was some fancy, special pen.

3 kids at Target on tax- free shopping day, plus 2 clue-less parents = alcohol when you get home from back to school shopping.

Luckily another shopper heard us half cursing, half laughing and explained some things and that's when we realized it was all listed based on Staples descriptions. It was like solving a riddle[/quote]
