I know I'll be purchasing a new laptop so that'll be a couple hundred, but what about other things like bedding, microwaves (my school allows it), printer, backpack, bathroom items & other essentials? I don't want to spend more than $1000 but I think it'll happen anyway. How much did you spend?

Answer
both my kids didn't need a printer.

Might is highly recommend over the counter medications and first aid. and that can really add up. get every over the counter medication you could possibly need.

don't think we spent that much. look for bargains. bedding and microwave can run a lot or not. we got a great bedding set at Kohl's for a great price. More stuff for dorms will come out in July. look for sales.

I have allot of clothes that I never use or I barely use and I would like to donate them to homeless or poor people in needs of clothes. I live in NOVA.Is there any organization that takes use clothes?
I want to give this clothes to people that really need it and not to people that are going to sale it to make a profit.

Answer
Central Union Mission in DC. They help homeless families. They also give out backpacks before school starts. They have a holiday program where you can adopt a kid. My office adopts at least 6 kids per year and it's a great success!!!!
