Go to a charity shop and buy all three and get change.
-
get my child the shoes and with the change buy a pack of shirt whitener to renew my old one and clean up the tie as best i could.
-
Buy second hand. You can have your cake and eat it too- in this case have the shoes, and a shirt and tie too.
-
Wal-Mart! But if it came down to it and could only get one or the other it would be the shoes for the child, I can always make due with what I have!
-
buy the shoes and go to the job interview in shorts a T-Shirt i know i had to
-
Borrow a shirt and tie and get some used shoes from a thrift store for your kid and use the rest of the money for groceries and a haircut. Heck you could get all of that at Walmart for less than $50. (Please don't post any replies about how evil Walmart is)
-
I'd go to Ross. I could get all the things I needed there and yes, most likely have enough left to buy lucnh after the interview. Being a stay at home mom/student, I've learned how to stretch even 10 bucks when I get it.

GO TO YOUR LOCAL CHURCH OR OUTREACH (THE CHURCH FIRST)
-
take your kid to an intersecton, hold him in your arms and have a sign, need money for child's shoes. someone will give you money. say, May YahWeh Bless You For Your Love.

We go to the local Salvation Army Store and he gets his shoes, I get my tie and shirt ... and we still have a couple of bucks to stop by Mickey D's for lunch .. +5
-
Try a Goodwill/Salvation Army...they have new items a lot of the times...and then there are organizations that actually give away suits for interview...(I know they do it for ladies)
-
Go to the Casino and try and double it up. Then buy both
-
I would go to a discount store, like Ross or Walmart.
-
The child comes first. Check out all your resources to make your money stretch but if the tie & coat cannot be gotten just say a prayer, march into the interview with confidence & act bold & polite. You'll be surprised how many employers are impressed less with clothes & more by you :)
-
If the thing your child needs the most is new shoes.....your fortunate. Count your blessings.
-
Taking this question in the spirit it was given, I would get the shirt and tie. You can't provide for a child with no job, shoes or not. . Before anyone gets upset, please note the word 'need' appears twice in the last sentence.
