I guess we got off lucky...Rachel's 2nd grade list was pretty short, and she could have whatever color folders she wanted. Our Walmart had every color but pink (which is what she wanted)...so she wasn't happy, but oh well. I spent about $25 total for all of her supplies this year (no coupons or anything).
I will admit when I taught I asked for Crayola crayons as opposed to other (*cough* crap Roseart) brands. And every year a kid would bring in Roseart, and then he or she would be crying because their crayons didn't show up on the paper that we were using.
