With a 6 & 8 year old, you have a little more leeway as far as brands, etc. Also, their stuff should be a little more reasonable.

I'll be shopping for my 12-year old son (who is worse than a woman when it comes to shopping). I give him a $50 cut off for sneakers and try to do most of my shopping at Kohl's. Their sales on Wednesdays kick ass.

At his age and size (he's about 5'6", size 11 mens shoes, and size 30 waist), we're shopping in the young men's department now. I can usually do pretty good with shirts, but the pants are a fortune. I got away with $15 per pair of shorts this summer, but only because I forced him to get their store brand as opposed to JNCO crap he wanted.

I wish I could shop at Old Navy, but the kids here wouldn't be caught dead in their stuff. Same with Gap (although that's probably a blessing because they're pretty pricey.)

School supplies alone ran me over $100 last year -- binder, backback, notebooks, pens, pencils, highlighters, filler paper, etc.

Ugh...I'm really dreading this!

Here's a thought though that worked for me two years ago...I bought him a lot of those zip-off pants. Didn't have to buy shorts that summer!
