Original caption

This is your reminder that every back-to-school season doesn’t have to mean buying everything brand new. 👏🏽 We invested in a quality Pottery Barn backpack, and it’s still in great condition for another school year. The only thing I had to buy was a new lunch box, and I found it on clearance. Buying quality upfront has saved me money over time. Instead of replacing a backpack every school year, we’re able to reuse it and put that money toward other priorities. Sometimes the most financially responsible purchase is the one you only have to make once. 💰✨ #PersonalFinance #BackToSchool #MoneyTips #MomTok #IntentionalSpending

Transcript

I am one of those parents who will spend $100 plus on a backpack and lunch box combo. Sue me. I can't lie. Over the last three years, since my daughter has either been in camp or school, I have always bought her backpacks and lunch boxes from Pottery Barn because I think they're cute, they're durable, and you can wash them. Let me show you what happens when you buy a cheap backpack. Okay, so she got this as a gift. Very nice okay backpack. And it actually needs to be washed. Okay? Not only that, the zipper is broke on that backpack, okay? And this is just her summer camp backpack. She hasn't worn the whole school year. Now, this backpack is the backpack I bought last school year for her. It's Pottery Barn, just a powdery. I literally just washed it the other day because I decided like, yes, expensive. Reuse. Good. This is still good quality. So the only new thing that I did buy was a new lunch box that matches this. Actually on clearance. So I only spent $36 altogether. Guess the lunch box because last year's thing. I have been extremely tempted to buy the state bags. I've been seeing a lot of them. I promise, more than likely next year, I'm gonna up her and get her a new backpack. Of with Pottery Barn backpack from last year. She'll still be cute, fashionable, and it's still gonna be nice quality.
