15 boxes=$12 plus ingredients probably another $70, labels were $20 but I ordered enough to put away for next year ( bought some extra nice things for Rav and Dayan which added to expense= Mishloach Manos total $92
Matanos Levyonim=$300
$100 for my Dayan, in our community it is standard to give a little something for all his free dedication all year round when DH makes him crazy with shailos...
Costume for my son $25, he’s not in school yet so I get to save on teachers gifts
Food for my MIL party with a nice presentation costed me another $80
Total: $617 WOW so much more than I expected, but bh tzedakah is the biggest chunk of it

We just spent on mm which came to 20 dollars... plus whatever my dh gives for matonos levayim.

Going to my parents for the seuda and we didn't buy costumes this year so no cost there.

Am I the only one that hasn’t tipped the morahs/Rebbe’s?

Seems like a standard Purim expense...

No
We eat out both suedahs. I made kugel for both, so we could count the potatos.

About 50 on the seudah.
About 20 for MM- we made a bunch but pretty much used stuff we already had in the house packed in cellophane or paper bags I've accumulated over the years.
I don't know how much we gave to Matanos le'evyonim. My husband took care of that.
And costumes my kids used what we had at home already.

Seudah is cheap, it's just us. Maybe $25, max.
MM for 25 plus kid's class, including packaging, about $60 (expensive part was the salmon DH smoked)
MM and tips for rebbes, about $100
MM to DD in sem, $10 (parent group project)
Tzedaka TBD, but per our policy will be at least $150
Total, about $300, whoa.

I spend 300 on tips , I give my sons 2 preschool teachers (100 each)
And my daughter 2nd grade class assistant

I do not give my daughter main teacher or my sons rebbe 4th Grade

The teacher and rebbe make a nice salary from school the others don't. The rebbe gets a generous gift from school and so does teacher
(I can't afford to give everyone)
Maybe I'm wrong ,it's just how I feel.

I’m asking in all seriousness, what you serve in the seuda? I spent a fortune on it so just curious where could I have cut corners
