Did your mom buy you off-brand school supplies?

Did you have official Crayola-brand crayons or did your mom penny-pinch and force you to go to school with Great Value-brand wax pastels?
Also, INB4, “Well your mom didn’t penny-pinch when she took my cock up her arse.” I get it. You fricked my mom.

Mead 4 life in my house. Trapper Keeper was the first ever “gotta have it”item that I can remember.

No. She loved me.
No way was I walking into school with Rose Art garbage.

Nah. We went to Howard Brothers, Murphy's Mart or Katz&Bestoff
WMT didn't exist in our area back in the day but Kmart did.

Yes because we were poor and had to save money wherever we could.

The worst was popping that Check Cola at lunch. Humiliation

Great value would’ve been an upgrade in my house. We had “premium wax crayons” and they worked just fine as long as you didn’t push too hard and snap it. I vividly remember some rich uppity arse kid in 3rd grade came with the mega box of crayolas with the SHARPENER in the box. He also brought pringles to lunch and he had the 1st Coca-Cola shirt at school so you know I’m talking about a “privledged” white kid.

Well, I never got to have one of the cool metal lunch boxes with a thermos (Bonanza, Rat Patrol, or such) that some of the kids had. Just a brown paper bag, usually reused multiple times, for my sandwich. Probably just as well, a glass thermos wouldn't have had a long life expectancy around me, anyway.

K&B pencils

I don’t think great value existed then
But pro wings, rustler jeans and flea market knock off stuff did . But most everything I got came from a garage sale. We didn’t have money and I was raised in a house with love, but I’m thankful I was able to do more for my kids

I don't remember school supplies specifically but knowing my parents, they most definitely bought what they thought was the best value regardless of brand or price. I do remember having Crayola so that was important but they refused to buy the expensive Coca cola rugby shirts when they were popular, got a knock off Pepsi sweatshirt instead.

My mom bought me off-brand EVERYTHING possible. She was a single mom working 50-60 hours a week.
I hated it as a kid, but grown-up me respects the hell out of her for doing what she did with so little help.
For better or worse as a result I can’t help but spoil my own kids(within reason) because of it.
