[quote=Anonymous]Backpacks and lunch boxes—replace only as needed. I don’t buy the character ones since kids move through phases so quickly. They’ve got a mix of llbean and lands end brand backpacks and lunchboxes and they hold up really well so hardly ever need to replace.
Pencils, erasers, markers, crayons, glue sticks, spiral notebooks—buy new because the ones from last year are either all used up or nowhere to be found by now
Scissors, binders, folders, pencil boxes—re use as long as they’re still in good shape 
Clothes, shoes—I do buy them a couple new shirts and pants each year and they do get new shoes before school starts. But it’s not like a whole new wardrobe. And I usually buy the clothes throughout the year on sale. Wait til right before school to get the shoes though as their feet grow so fast. My son just started caring about name brand stuff and loves under armour and adidas so that’s Easy to find on sale. My daughter has a particular style but doesn’t care about name brands.

When it comes to pencils, I always buy Ticonderoga brand. Markers and crayons and color pencils—always crayola. Other supplies, I don’t think it matters too much. The target brand plastic folders have held up better than Mead!
