School returns in just over a week down here in Tasmania. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t looking forward to it. This year I’ll have two of three children in school and the amount of free time I predict myself having is a little dizzying.
What isn’t on my “list of things I’m looking forward to” are the costs associated with school. Fees, levies, uniforms, school essentials, lunchboxes, it all begins to add up.
While most of the costs are a one off thing at the beginning of the year, it doesn’t stop it becoming expensive fast if you’re not careful.
I’ve already braved the crowds at one disorganised, insanity inducing department store in my search for plain black pants and shoes that don’t pinch.
