Anyone else nickel and dimed to death?

I guess there are several ways to get nickeled and dimed to death. For example used or older vehicles, kids, etc.... Today, however, for me it is my kids' school. Seems like they need you to provide money for everything. Today they sent home an invitation for "Granparent/special friend day" where you pay for them to come eat with your kids, then the year end Zoo trip cost and cost for t-shirts to be tie-dyed for the kids to wear for the trip so they all match, then comes the registration slips for summer swim lessons, etc.... Anyone else out there in the same boat?
