My oldest daughter, technically stepdaughter will begin in January but has chosen at this point to stay local and move in with us and we are excited about that . However, we have a senior and junior this year that really want the whole college experience. So they are planning to go off to college and strongly considering the same school. I'd like to get started early and prepare in order to save money and to keep the girls excited about getting ready.

We are starting fresh and I spent so far about $500 +/- not including the laptop, text books (will likely rent used for most of them) and school supplies. But all of this is a one time purchase other than books and school supplies and other than the sheets and mattress topper (she can sell that when she graduates) she can use everthing after she graduates and moves into an apartment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-31917085468590269222014-08-10T23:32:27.316-04:002014-08-10T23:32:27.316-04:00Looks like the right stuff, and I think you did gr...Looks like the right stuff, and I think you did great with the prices!Hawaii Plannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04760426766801381563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-60120328905933685962014-08-10T21:57:28.724-04:002014-08-10T21:57:28.724-04:00Right now, the bed risers are pulled out front in ...Right now, the bed risers are pulled out front in WM because some people shove things under the bed in plastic boxes. My daughter even took a footlocker. She made no comment about overcrowding of the room. The school furnished on combination refrigerator-microwave for the room with two boys. There is a kitchen if they want to cook with their own things or rent them from the school--pots and pans and anything they need to cook. I sent dishcloths--2, dishtowels--2, 1 potholder. The cheap beige hand towels and wash cloths were what I got for kitchen instead of more expensive kitchen towels and cloths. You know, the microwaved popcorn might be hot for hands or surface...lol. Hand towels and wash cloths are cheaper than kitchen stuff. <br /><br />You have more room than my daughter, so she said they could barely move for the stuff in the hall, all where no one could forget anything.Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-66730787450856489062014-08-10T19:29:18.132-04:002014-08-10T19:29:18.132-04:00WOW!

He will have the same basic set-up as you all. Private bedroom/bathroom/closet, with shared living and kitchen. 4 people though. Great job on how much you spent! Not sure I would do that well!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02863887265545701157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-70500822109291313862014-08-10T18:59:56.289-04:002014-08-10T18:59:56.289-04:00I just got a kick out of it!
