Back to School Shopping List

So sorry for taking so long to post this. I had a trip to Cebu for a conference that I will share once all my back logs are done, haha.

Anyway, let's start with our back to school shopping list. 

Matthew's school gave us a list of school things to buy for Grade 4 students.  First on the list are 11 pieces of composition notebooks. But we bought 13 pieces na at Php 29.75 each.

I chose notebooks with cover na so I don't need to cover it up to save time.

Kapag composition notebook ganito sya.

Next naman are from left to right: white board marker (Php 29.75), pencil (3 pieces for Php 24.75), ballpens (Php 11.75 each), dustless eraser (2 pieces for Php 39.75), sharpener (Php 22.75), ruler (Php 19.75), correction tape (Php 36.75), and scissor (Php 19.75).

I chose pala the ruler that is not easily break and is flexible like this.

And this scissor with a 5 year-warranty daw? True kaya? Let's see.

Next are these pencil cases.

Why two? This green pencil case (Php 44.75) is for the crayons.

And this blue pencil case (Php 54.75) is for the pencils, ballpens, eraser and small school things.

On the school shopping list is the sketch pad for Php 34.75 each.

Of course, writing pads for Grade 4 at Php 39.75 per set with 3 pads each.

They are also required to bring long bond papers (20 sheets for Php 19.75) and assorted art paper (20 sheets for Php 19.75).

Also on the list are long brown envelope with cover (Php 26.75) and long white folder with cover (Php 19.75).

This 48-pieces crayons is Php 149.75. Mahal na ano? But it's the quality and safety that matters so okay lang.

Since there are books to cover pa, I bought PVC book wrapper (13.5" x 10 m) at Php 67.75.

Other school essentials not on the list that we bought is this hand sanitizer (Php 69.00) that is personally picked by our little boy.

This folded umbrella is Php 229.75.

And this set of school socks is 3 pairs for Php 199.75.

So let's sum it up:

Total is Php 1586.25. For this new school year we spent around Php 9,000 for the school shopping list including the black school shoes, which will I post soon, and the Robby Rabbit trolley bag that our son personally chose. By the way, his old Robby Rabbit trolley bag was bought 3 years ago pa. He wanted a smaller one this time.

Just to give you a tip mga momshies. Para hindi ka mabigla sa pamimili you can actually buy it ng paunti unti like every sweldo start ka na ng April 15th and there after until mabili mo na lahat. Or better yet, save for it like what we do. What we are doing kasi is we are saving at least Php 3,000 per month for our son's tuition fee and school things. Para pagdating ng new school year hindi tayo masstress sa gastos. Right?
