I start shopping (for supplies)the second month of summer. Usually by the time school starts I already have what dd needs. Clothes wise I wait until the last minute because dd has a growth spurt in the summer.
As my dd is 5'3 and only 10 we shop at Puffs $12 warehouse. You can get alot for $125-150.
Cricket.
