Soon we will all have to head to our favorite retail store and stock up on all those items are kids insist they need to make their school year amazing.

To all those parents who must head out to the store and purchase that list of fifty items your child’s future teacher insists they need, I feel your pain.

What are your strategies for surviving the all day shopping event or do you just one-click the buy button for your school fundraiser?

Make sure you bring water and feed your munchkins…you don’t know how long you will be out.  May your cart wheels all function, the stores be stocked and your sanity still in tact!
