Debt Dumpers 2025

[Bellex917]

I have to admit as a teacher who literally ended the school year on 6/27 to see Back to School Supply displays being put up, makes me want to cry!! When I was a kid the back to school supplies did not get put out until the 1st full weekend of Aug and have been slowly moving forward, now we have them out the last week of June!!

At this rate, I expect X-Mas "bargins" to start appearing mid Sept this year based on a number of eco/pol/fin/consumer related issues! Last year we started to see a bunch starting mid Oct.

SAMMEEEEEEE. My school ended 6/25. Are you in NJ too? I can't handle these school supply comments lol!

Schools here go back on August 14th.

I went to Hobby Lobby earlier to grab a couple last minute 4th of July things and they have almost the entire Christmas aisles set and full, which I actually kind of like because now I can pick up one or two things each paycheck to decorate with instead of dropping $300 in one shot.

I don't remember having to bring school supplies until we hit 7th grade and even then i think it was a single 3 ring divider with 6 section dividers so we had one for each academic period. most of us also had a supply of peechee folders and enough pencils to get you through quarter by quarter. OF COURSE there was the one item we were required to provide-brown paper bags for the inevitable book covering that took place on the first day in each class.

I though my tripped over bluey hoodies were just a one off of very early Christmas shopping but low and behold I grabbed another today. we went to a homestead conference this weekend and there was a repeat vendor from last year that made the most phenominal strawberry balsamic jam. snagged some extras for stocking stuffers
