[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 546192, member: 84"] UAN, M not only has a job, but the same one for nearly a year. That alone is staggering. But then he's required to work to get to stay in the HUD apartments. Unless disabled, you work. He got shot down fast for disability, as I expected he would. I worried this was going to be an issue as he hasn't been able to hold jobs for very long due to his behavior. Nichole's boyfriend did say that no one at the restaurant trusts him or likes him, he gives them all the creeps. That alone makes it difficult for him to hold a job for any length of time. As for the shopping, I don't do anything special. Staples has had these omg sales starting last year that if you watch, give you unbelievable prices for school supplies, coupled with krogers sales and drug store sale items.......it wasn't very hard to do. But it it weren't for staples selling so many things for a penny and under .50 it wouldn't have been possible to get it that cheap. That is the store we had to go out of town that Katie had no way to get to. Honestly, if it cost me any more than that I'd probably not try to help out with the school supplies at all. But you just can't beat 25.00 or even 30 for a whole years school supplies for 4 people. Now I didn't know if the older kids needed compasses or whatever and I didn't go into that much detail, those aren't too expensive normally. I did pencils and pens and folders and notebooks and filler paper, crayons, glue, scissors, erasers, binders and the like as those items can kill a budget over the course of a year of a kid going Mom I Need blah blah blah. I always stocked up on school supplies for the whole year when my kids were small at the sales, they were stored in a box and pulled out as needed. Still amazes and worries me that there were no other shoppers at any of these sales this year. Last year there were only a handful.
