[quote=Anonymous]My 10th grader wear a blue button down shirt ($20), a school tie (about $15), specific pants that have to be altered ($$30), and a sweater with a logo that is about $30.

The PE outfit is about $10 +$15.

He uses the sweater over and over.

My other kid has a similar uniform, but for casual days he can wear a polo with the school emblem (about $15).

I keep 5 days worth of clothes that fit on hand, except the sweater. They have 2-3 of those.

Parents love to pass clothes along and when you see a child who is shaped like your kid, you tend to go out of your way to pass on directly to them. Moms have done this for me, especially with pants.

A challenge is that if your kid is an unusual size you may have to custom order, which can be pricier or take a while no matter what company.

Some parents go to Lands End or Old Navy, but you can tell they don't match. It is a matter of whether or not the school is a stickler for that.

I KNOW I save $ on shoes, because the status sneakers become "rewards" in my house for weekends or after school and last longer. For school shoes, neither kid cares much because it is just part of the uniform.

We talk about sneakers A LOT because I remember the Air Jordan/Reebok days and what a big deal those items were. It is nice to not have to think about $150 shoes (until Christmas).
