That is VERY common. I supply my own classroom's Kleenex - among a lot of other things. I just watch the Target ad on Sundays and I pick up a few boxes here and there. I don't keep track of how much I spend on my classroom. What would be the point of that?

But, I must say now.... I have the greatest job in the world without a close second. My students make up for all the crap. :biggrin
