In Sweden we get our supplies like notebooks and pencils, erasers and folders for free at the school but if we want extra stuff like pencil cases we have to buy it ourselves. We even get free school lunches that are healthy with a lot of vegetables. ( the vegetable options is better at some schools than others)
wait so do your stores not even sell pencils and stuff because no one needs to buy them?? 😭 (other than the government but they probably get them bulk so)
Im going to assume you are British based off of your use of the word 'quid', the canadian dollar is equivalent to about 3 British pounds, and stuff is generally more expensive in canada because it is cheaper for companies to have factories in America and then send it to canada, the shipping and handling fees are forked onto the canadian consumer.

Ok but honestly my cute school supplies never cost me that much (besides the books obv there so expensive like I have 15 subjects including p.e. now, with 1 if not more textbooks in each subject)
@cat1bread ik I live in Ireland and I did the calculations I even left some leeway for stuff that might break or get lost but it was still very far off
I somehow manage to keep my back to school supplies (besides new textbooks) to a very small price by just simply keeping everything from previous years. All I do is just get new pens every once in a while.
@@Hartsikasvo yeah I practically use pencil cases to the point they are super tattered but I’ll still use them. If I ever get a different one I just ask my grandmother for one of her older ones since she used to be a teacher haha.
@@Brimoe18 obviously not, but I don’t even use pencils often as school supplies, and I just don’t finish notebooks because I’ll just simply type digital notes.
@@cheeselesscheese2871 dude why!!! Mot of the time you can fit everything in one binder with room to spare. Honestly wasteful. Just use dividers to stay organized! Some school policies are dumb 🤦♀️
What has been helpful to me is to buy at the end of September for next year. Like buying a Halloween costume in November. I try to buy all my son’s stuff out of season, like his winter coat in summer, and bike and summer clothing in winter. Although you do need to have the luxury of having room for storage.
How to shop for back to school on a budget: When most people buy school supplies, it’s a few folders, notebooks, pencils/pens and erasers + bag and pencil case (if you need new ones). 6 notebooks = 4.50$ (75¢/per notebook). 6 folders = 3$ (50¢/per folder). 1 binder = 1-3$. Pencil case = 7-8$. Pencils = 3$ Backpack = 25-30$ (not brand name). That totals around 51$. Those are only the bare necessities and paper, tissues, hand sanitizer will all cost an extra maybe 10$? But you can always use the same backpack for many years if you take care of it! Same things with pencil cases.
@@peptheforeversuperiorbeing3000 Target, all this stuff is based on target prices since I do shop there for back to school and so all the prices are consistent. I live in NY. Prices may be different now because a few months have passed, but when I made the comment those were the prices at my target during back to school season. The bare necessities like notebooks, pencils, pens and folders are all really cheap there! I don’t know if it’s cheaper at walmart but I still think it’s relatively inexpensive.
Were you supply shopping at the wrong time of year? If I want school/office supplies I always wait until they go on sale in summer. This year I bought 8 spiral notebooks for $2.40
My school supplies were always extremely cheap as in all I really needed was pencils and a notebook. The other stuff was bonus but often unused. And I was born in 2001. For university my school supply is mostly electronic so I don’t tend to get stationaries, but think there are definitely cheaper options and if you really want a good budget/deal on those things, buy the supplies after back to school shopping for the sales. We got paperback notebooks that were $1 for $0.19 back then. Not sure if it’d still be that cheap though. An alternative is dollar tree or dollarama for some supplies on the cheaper end
At my school we do everything or almost everything on computers so all we need is pencils, pens, folder, notebook, and maybe sticky notes for reading but then again I’m in middle school so yeah
That's really expensive imo. For a planner, 6 notebooks, index cards, 10 pack of folders, a pencil pouch, highlighters, and pens were roughly $55 USD after taxes. My mom bought everything but the pens and highlighters, which I paid roughly $17 for. We had pencils from the previous year on hand still so I used those. Although, it was Walmart brand stuff mostly (except for the planner, pens, and highlighters, which the pens and highlighters were from Pilot)
My school gives book packs and come with EVERYTHING it's like 150-250 bucks though🥲 so the only thing I'm buying is pencil cases and highlighters because the highlighters are horrible in the pack
Honestly I never rlly got all new school supplies every year for example if one year ended and I had extra supplies or perfectly good supplies I’d just keep it and if I needed something I’ll buy cheap good working basic ones 😅
When we go school supply shopping, my two brothers and I spend like 200 dollars, half of it on stuff that we probably won’t use but are FORCED to buy but anyways it’s pretty good for 3 people i guess
do people actually use sharpies, etc, and use up all the ink every year? the only thing I need to buy are pen refills because my supplies accumulate and never get used up
I finished highschool this month but here's an approx of the shopping I did lol notebooks- $4.39 (₹360) lab records- around $5 Pens- around $6.09 (₹500) Pencils- $0.73 (₹60) Erasers- $0.61 (₹50) Sharpeners-$0.18 (₹15) Rulers- $0.25 (₹20) Dissection kit- around $0.73 (₹60) Pencil case- $3.05 (₹250) Highlighters- $0.49 (₹40) Sticky notes- $0.61 (₹50) Total: around ₹1800 or $22 :) Plus additional expenses of textbooks and manuals $12.19 (₹1000)
That’s exactly what I spent last year! I hope to spend much less this year as I am not thinking of buying a new backpack tbh. I need some money for myself. I mean bffr I really spent over 50 bucks for my bag pack. Definitely will be using it for a while or until I graduate! And I bought I lot of pens and most of them ran out as I write ALOT so IDK if they’ll last until the end of the year! The notebooks are CHEAP btw
Same I just buy pencils and a notebook and I use the same plastic folder I got it in like 4th grade 💀 bc that’s all I really need because we do like everything on computers
My books and notebooks alone which we have to buy from the school shops cost around ₹10000 aka 121 us dollors rest like pencil, pens etc we can get around 1000 for a whole year (12 dollors)(not including the bags) i spend like 70 Dollars for pens tho in a year lol
One doesn't need unnecessary stuff to make themselves look smarter and scholar. Maybe get binder,normal pens[2-3 dollars a pack], loose sheets and notebooks or maybe just an iPad or laptop for back to school supplies in high school. Trust me,those spendings are simply a waste of money and moreover distracting! Hope this helps!=]
At my school they pay for our supplies, though we do have to pay 45$ for them to get the school supplies. Honestly, they don’t even give us enough school supplies. We had to earn school supplies by paying attention, that’s so messed up and after all of that all they gave us was a binder and a pencil sharpener. that’s exactly why I’m going back to school shopping.
Bruh this is why I shopped on temu for really cute but also reallt cheap stuff the total for mechanical pencils, highlighters, pens, backpack, was like $20.
Get an iPad. Much better for your back, portable, easy organization, and will last you years. Plus you can download your textbooks in PDF form and not have to carry any physical textbooks
I’ve taken some courses with open source online text books and it’s great! I didn’t think I would like not having the physical book but it’s so convenient, with text to speech and definitions. Plus, like you said so much easier to carry.
120 is a lot, though it is a gift and she did buy a lot of things. I tried to count all the things she got (like each notebook separately), and 120/39= 3(rounded), so she didn't spend that much (per item
I spend $200 at Sanrio on brand new stationery each weekend I go and buy brand new tote bag brand new notebooks pens and pencil cases keychains wallets gosh my boyfriend spoils me ❤ he can’t say no

Does the teacher buy those supplies or are they provided by the school administrators / government?
@@WhiffleWaffles i think it's the administration. could you imagine if a teacher had to pay for 25+ students' stuff? that would be a fortune!
@@WhiffleWaffles ok, i just thought you might be American and some teachers do pay out of pocket... hm.
