[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ice cream paper bag from giant for your lunch bag. At least it was when I was a kid :)[/quote]

I love this. Also the kids who, on picture day, had the largest packages and extras checked off for the most money. Though these aren't really status symbols (and may or may not even be linked to actual wealth status), they sure are for kids. Probably a different thread though.[/quote]

Are you all saying these are high class or low class?

I have had (and will send DD) to school w/ lunch in a Giant ice cream paper bag b/c we are frugal and we recycle and care about the earth.  We will re-use these paper bags (and Ziploc bags -- the sturdy kind) until they are not use-able anymore

On the other hand, school pictures?  No, I will not buy them.  I think they are cheap and low-class and my parents never bought them and I never buy them either.  I consider people who buy a lot of them pretty low-class or climbing class.  I spring for a professional photo shoot for DD for her Christmas card photo each year b/c I think those are nicer!  My MIL asked me if she could have copies of DD's school pics and she has this pic frame with like 12 holes in it for each of her kids' and each of her grandkids' school pics over the 12 years of schooling and I think that is lower middle class and/or climbing class.  I told her I do not buy school photos but I would be happy to send her extra copies of the Christmas card pics.  I felt snobby when I was saying I did not get the school photos b/c I do not care for them, but I felt it also said something about us in that she automatically thought everybody does buy the school photos, without question, and I obviously do not.

So, all in all, with the paper bag issue and the school pics issue, I don't know if this is saying I am high class or low class or something in between![/quote]

Well, based on this post alone, I tag you as "low class." You are welcome.[/quote]
