Last week I posted asking for help with where to shop for my kid’s dorm room and you guys came through! Those who pointed us to Ollie’s, thank you so much! We probably saved over $100 there between bedding and office stuff. The gal at REI convinced my kid she needed an actual coat and found us one on clearance. We were even able to hit the goof target! So thank you so much, you guys turned what could have been a shopping disaster into a shopping adventure!

Next week I’m dropping my kid off at college in Albany and we have one day to do all the shopping as we are coming from the other side of the country. I’m looking for where to shop. She needs bedding, a winter coat and boots, toiletries, snacks, etc. I know where we live, I would tell you to go to a certain Target because it’s bigger and has better selection. I’d also tell you to hit up our local chain of Kroger because they have a better variety of bedding for less. So please, tell me your best tips on setting my kid up not to starve or freeze! We are open to anything, including thrift and 2nd hand.
