We have 2 of the TI graphing calculators because I had two in high school at the same time and they both needed them. My youngest will be getting a hand-me-down when she needs one. She's in 8th grade and Algebra I but the teacher has a class set so she doesn't need one yet and can use her siblings' at home.
Don't even get me started on books for college. My son buys his own books (and thank heavens for Chegg.com!) but the prices are crazy. However, his school supplies consisted of a notebook and a pack of pens. So maybe it balances out...
