Sharpen your pencils and your budgets—it’s back-to-school shopping time! In this week’s episode of From 9 to Mom, we're diving into the chaos of school supply lists, expert teacher tips, and talking about when to splurge and when to save. 
Catie walks us through Jack’s UPK list and is super excited to go shopping. Meanwhile, Danielle shares how her list is letting her skip the stores altogether—and no, it’s not just ignoring the list. We’re also breaking down which supplies are worth the splurge (hint: it’s not the glitter pens), how to find the best backpack without selling a kidney, and what teachers actually want your kid to bring.
Whether you’re a Type A supply stockpiler or a last-minute Target runner, we’ve got laughs, tips, and real mom talk to get you through the back-to-school shopping madness.
