That's the #1 thing I look for when they start school, a durable and long lasting backpack that they can use as long as possible. This year, the school system is providing ALL supplies! :) We have used the same backpacks since Kindergarten.

Not only does it save us money but it's also friendlier for the environment. Tip 4 is our family favourite! We always try to search for used items before we buy new.

We always pass on our clothes, shoes, backpacks, etc., to friends or charities. Instead of juice boxes, we try to use a thermos for drinks. Instead of plastic wrap in lunches, we use reusable containers or bento boxes. We buy new clothes, but I also pick up a couple things at garage sales in the summer.

Make it a game: plastic wrap vs. reusable container, home-made glue vs. store bought...and watch them buy into being green. Might as well educate them before sending them off to be educated.
