Today was very busy for my family. 4 Dr. appointments early in the morning. Geesh! An 11 year old son, a 7 year old daughter, and twin girls age 6. The busy life of me, but I wouldn't trade it for nothing.
Today, I got some deals on school supplies at Walgreens. Tomorrow we will head to Walmart for their current school supply sale, and go back Sunday for a different school supply sale. Shopping for all of them can be very expensive. If its clothing that I have to buy, I usually shop for them two at a time, and pass down the oldest daughters clothes to the twins if there in good condtion. Thank goodness, I work in retail.
How do I handle Christmas shopping for them? Very simply. Thank goodness for layaway. I use Burlington Coat Factory (90 day layaway), and TJ Maxx (30 day layaway + my 10% employee discount). That is all I need to keep us all afloat.
