school shopping with ease!

Parents and teachers have a lot to prepare for as they get ready for the back-to-school season.
Luckily, I'm no longer involved in the back-to-school supply rush, but it does not mean that I have less respect for the moms and dads carrying the supply list around the stores trying to find the wide-rule paper instead of college-rule.  Remembering my frantic search for the 3-inch mat for nap time, I am grateful that we are not in 2005 anymore.  School shopping in 2019 should be a piece of cake. To top it off, stores now have same-day pick-up and next-day delivery.
​
​Why go to the store?
This is a valid question. If you are dying for social frustration and love racing for that last 24-pack of crayons, you should go to the store for your school shopping.  What about those parents that forget to take the supply list with them? YIKES! Well, I'm the type that will shop from my iphone while chilling on a poolside lounge chair sipping an icy, sweet drink.  Some people start browsing stores weeks before the deadline just to snag those popular items. With online shopping, you could continue the vacation up until the day before school starts and still have the backpacks ready.
​
​What was the craziest item you ever encountered on a school supply list?
Teaching is a tough job.  You have to be prepared for just about everything, but seriously, some of these supply lists are extreme. I recall one with a first aid kit.  Imagine if all twenty students showed up with a kit each. You would need to rent a storage unit or maybe each student could have their own nursing station. ​​I understand that teachers have fixed budgets so I did not 

mind sending in the facial tissue and good paper towels. I can imagine that they must use a lot of those in a school year and have you ever tried wiping something up with those school paper towels? Literally, 50% or more of the liquid rolls off them and back on to the floor - a teaspoon of liquid could saturate a whole roll (Only a tiny bit of exaggeration here). 
Well, I believe I have made my point. Save gas, save time, and save energy by doing your school shopping online from anywhere around the world. 

Read, shop, and giggle a little. - Carla
