$400 = teachers tips
12x$14 = $168 - rabbanim, bosses, in-laws, mashgiach, etc m”m
$100 - wine
1.50 x 40 = $60- kids shaloch manos
40 x $1 = $40 - nieces, nephew, neighbors, friends kids
Costumes:
3 costumes - lots homemade - $15 total

Is there a "going rate" for teacher gifts in preschool (Crown Heights)? I did not give those yet but I don't think it will be too bad if I give them late. A gift for the teacher is a nice, even expected thing to do but I don't think it needs to be part of the "mitzvah" of Purim.

I think I spent over $700!
Between mishloach manos, my kids mm for their friends, costumes, gift cards, food for Purim Seuda, paper goods, bags, ribbon.... probably the food for the Seuda costs the most we’re having a Seuda with 12 people.
I’m not frugal so things add up.
I just realized I forgot the wine! DH bought 10 bottles- don’t know what he spent.
I guess my total is about $900!
