Budget friendly back to school clothes for Middle School


One thing I like to think about when shopping is the "cost per wear" or CPW.  Meaning, if I pay 100 bucks for an outfit that I wear once, well my CPW is 100 bucks.  But if I spend that same 100 bucks on some jeans and a tee that I can wear, say 10 times, my CPW drops to 10.00 bucks!  Lets assume my daughters each wear an outfit 10 times (that's every 2 weeks for 6 months, give or take) I will show you the cost of the outfit and the CPW for it, the lower the cost, the better value on my clothing!

So what did I buy for my $161.98??  Here are 12 of my daughters favorite outfits!  (Her sister is away at camp this week or she would share her favs too!)


Old Navy Boot Cut Jeans $1.50
Old Navy Tee $1.00

  2. school clothes can be expensive. Nobody said that schooling would be cheap. only remembers how much it costs to buy an essay from some special service! Do you agree that prices are not low? if so, you should know about the best essay writing service https://orderessay.net/writing-an-essay-about-yourself.html (that also propose writing essay that has a type "essay about yourself"/"essay about myself") which offers very good prices for very good services!
