Binder cost? What?

Ok...I know that we are/were in a recession but come on. I went to get a large binder from Walmart that I could house all my essential items for school. My binder includes one copy of each thing that I have had to make a copy of this year and will need again next year. Everything is in sheet protectors and under a certain label. Anywhoo...back to the point...I about died of shock when I saw that the large binder was $15.00! Shut your face...I know...I am not even kidding either. How much could they really cost to make? I bought it though... Let me tell you if one of my kids touches that $15.00 binder, I might freak!

  2. I know! I have a "portfolio" for job interviews and I literally bought a cheapie binder because I wasn't shelling out money for something that should be dirt cheap!

  3. That is crazy exspensive!! Wow! I was at Staples this weekend and wanted to buy a planner big enough to write stuff in, but small enough to fit in my purse...they were like $30! I didn't get the planner! :( That is such a good idea for all those important papers you'll need...I may do that same thing!

  4. You have got to be joking. That is beyond ridiculous! I would have said forget it and went somewhere else. The kiddos better not touch the $15 binder ;)

  9. And they have us around their little finger because we need it. Right now I have things that I have collected in file folders but am eventually planning on moving towards a big binder for each subject that I am teaching with the things that I will use yearly. The money we spend on classroom stuff is insane!
