Oh God Neighbourhood food, yes to spending all the money. Also trying to limit it. It's weird but when I look at the stuff I think oh that's only a fiver, whereas a jar in supervalu I'd be raising my eyebrows at a fiver for a tiny jar of fanciness.
I'm also utterly sick of cooking egg but DS can't eat gluten so convenience is limited. I've taken to a lot of salad and fancy cheese with fancy dressing. I don't eat much meat but DH and DS are having steak a lot because I can't be bothered making an effort to cook something that requires more effort. DH is fond of the insanely good pepper sauce you can get in supervalu. Fry steak, heat sauce on pan, serve tasty dinner with no effort.
fuzzy DS is only 13 and doesn't really care what he wears as long as it's comfortable and boring boy colour, though he tolerates light blue, orange and red in tops. So I don't know if a 15 year old would be the same. I'm still able to buy from (older) kids ranges but I think mostly they just go up to 14. From h&m I got soft combats, organic t shirts but the tshirts not great quality- very thin and soft but the shape will go I'd say. Grand as vests. The baseball type long sleeve tshirts are better quality. I was trying to be more environmentally friendly - I think the range is called conscious. The combats have an adjustable waist because DS is skinny. Got him some shorts too in case April gets v hot like last year.
I got more tshirts from redbubble because he does like funny slogans and tv show/film stuff on tshirts. I got him men's size XS and they're fine. That might be something your DS would like, I'm pretty sure they have prints for anything you can think of. Comes from the UK so watch the price so you don't go over the limit for vat. Each packet is sent separately so that helps with the vat/ import duty thing. Not with postage though, but I had a code for 15% off so that cancelled out. EMP have tshirts and hoodies and what not too and I think that comes from Germany. I got him stuff from there before but they didn't have his latest craze.
Plain hoodies I got from mango, they've got organic stuff too. They're grand and heavy, seem good quality. Tracksuit bottoms from nameit, also organic and with adjustable waist but they're very slim fitting. Jumpers from mango, the fit was smaller than the hoodies - I can wear the hoodies but not the jumpers. The hoodies do look a bit big on him but the jumpers are perfect. Another warm hoody from M&S to replace one my DM got him that he grew out of without wearing at all hardly and I think he felt a bit sad about it (they are/were very close prior to this shit anyway - rang each other every day during first lockdown, but he's gone a bit teenagery now and distance has made the connection weaker I suppose, less to talk about). Socks and boxers and a couple more tracksuit bottoms from Dunnes (because the name it ones are too legging/jegging like really). Funny socks from the Irish sock society. He likes funny socks as well as funny tshirts! Got him a shirt and chinos from GAP in case he needs something smarter but he'll probably grow out of them before we have anywhere to go. Runners got from a shop in Spain - he hates shoes and he'll only wear barefoot types. I used to get them from the uk but Brexit messed that up a bit.
Mostly stuff that's fine for a 13 year old but I'd imagine an older teen would be more fussy? And the size issue. So my info is probably useless to you!
