Re: How much do you spend on school supplies?
One of my books for the fall... the teacher listed one of the required books as a textbook with CD. But I have the same textbook, without CD from undergrad - and there's no way I'm going to buy another copy of a $110 book. I checked with her and she said we won't be using the CD! (Can't figure out why she'd require us to buy the one with the CD then...)
I was also excited that for my summer grad class, the book the professor was requiring, I had from my undergrad course a few years earlier (but 2 editions older). Well, that saved me $117 (because it was not available used as it was published this year). Not to mention I had bought that book used to begin with for like $70. And, it was pretty amusing to me that my 7th edition was basically the same as the 9th edition -- pictures and all, except for the way some of the headings looked.
TINA-- Where do you go to high school that you need to buy $400 of books & supplies? We didn't have to buy books for high school.
