What are you Americans buying for school?
Some notebooks, agenda, pens, pencil, ruler... It's not all that expensive

Small and windy. I would guess the higher temperatures are measured more inland.
"Just say you did it or we'll kill you" after years of torture so there doesn't have to be a trial. Great work convincing us you got the right guys.
Czechs are kind of known for being cold and distant. It's a lonely place to live. I just went on a holiday and people could be so friendly and chatty in some other countries, at least reassuring me that it's not me who's the problem.
Brits and Germans are definitely friendlier and more sociable than Czechs (or Dutch) but the real chatty ones are down South, around the Mediterranean.
I really doubt that.
My yearly dental works always cost a fortune, but my teeth are great now, since:
- I got an electric brush and floss sticks;
- I now drink coffee without sugar (you'll get used to it pretty quickly);
- I almost completely stopped drinking sugary drinks (mostly bubbly water now, boycotting evil companies and being poor help).
Czechia. In many supermarkets "discounts" only apply when you have a card/app. Essentially the "discount" is normal price, otherwise you'll pay nearly double.
I worked in Lisbon for a while. Salary after tax was 700 EUR and a (very tiny shared) room was provided but I couldn't afford my own place. Now I'm in Prague and although I live very, very small, at least rent is "only" half of after-tax salary.
So more of a crisis in one place than another, but it would've been nice if something more than just a one-bedroom apartment would still be achieveable.
I'm using fake names on all those things, but prices without loyalty are often insane. It's basically an extra tourist tax.
I rarely use cash. Nearly everything I spend is on supermarket and they know exactly what I buy because we're forced to use their "loyalty" programs anyway.
Then traveling: dealing with other currencies, coming home with unspendable money. And there's no interest on cash lying around.
But I hate the tendency for places to not accept cash at all, there should still be a choice.
One bonus is that I keep finding money on the streets in countries that love cash.
The point is banks purposely make their browser versions terrible and still require an app or sms for 2FA. They may offer alternatives but discourage this by making it impractical or by charging fees.
There's no point to getting a "basic" account to get around using a phone because you won't have a savings account, no investing, no multiple currencies etc.
Weird. One teacher, so this is elementary school?
We only have to buy our own stuff starting middle school and it's only pens and paper and such. And a backpack but mine lasted all 4 years.
