Do you do a big back to school shopping for your kids when school starts?

Supplies - we do an inventory in the house to see what is needed vs. what we've got. From there we do a one shot, buy all supplies trip. Our elementary school has a deal through the PTA where you just write a check in the spring and the first day of school all the supplies the kid needs show up in a box on their desk. Can't beat that!
Clothes - I usually do one new back to school outfit for each and they get through early fall with what they have that fits. Think Megan may need a pair of jeans or two. Evan won't need much this year because he likes things BIG and much of his stuff from last year still fits to his liking. Yeah!! I went a little overboard last year because he was starting middle school and I wanted him to feel good about what he was wearing. This year, we'll just fill in a few gaps and replace a polo shirt or two. In October I usually do the jeans, sweatshirts, etc. though I'm thinking it's probably a good idea to keep an eye on sales this year and pick up some things earlier. Evan's birthday is in November so I usually make clothes one of the two or three gifts he gets and winter clothes come from relatives at Christmas.
School supplies - I buy a little each week during the summer so it gets absorbed into the grocery shopping
Clothes - I review what they need and buy as I can afford. Sometimes it is a big shopping.

We do ours in mid- to late-July, since school starts between Aug. 4 & 8th.
Yes, we usually do back to school shopping.
They always need sneakers so that is a definite that we buy.
I only buy things my son actually needs.
We usually do our shopping early August and have it completed before school starts. Supplies, shoes and clothes. This year we are winging it.
We have gone to the outlets and the mall a few times recently for clothes. I like hitting the sales. The Pacsun outlet has super skinny jeans 2 for $49. yay!
DH has 7 interview this Friday with a company in San
I usually check the supply list & then see what I already have. This is because when there are sales I usually buy large quantities. For instance, crayons I usually buy 3 boxes so I have them on hand when someone loses theirs lol. This yr I am so happy
I clothes shop for my brood year round. The first few months of school they can wear their summer clothes. They have coats, gloves, hats etc. I may have to get P.E shoes for Jasmin she will have to dress out for PE his year.
I am buying school supplies now.
