I live in the Philippines. Every summer almost every product in the supermarket has a free school stuff (notebook, pencil, erasers, lunch box, water tumbler, etc.) If we like the product then we’ll buy it along to get the freebie. We only buy what is needed, like if his shoes and uniforms are really small for him. Bags are reused too. It will also help to teach our kids the value of money. My son will not insist buying anything that is too expensive for me.

Great tips. I’ve been doing these as well. It’s amazing how many things you really don’t need that are already around the house. Don’t forget the list. Use coupons too.. and your kids look adorable by the way.. 🙂

I find I go through a lot of lunch bags. Once there is a liquid leak, especially milk, they get smelly. They all seem to be insulated cloth. Anyone ever find the old-fashioned metal ones? I am starting to see the wisdom of them. Also wondering if I dare to put the stinky cloth ones in the washing machine. Where do you get yours?
