Divorce Support Forums: his step-mom makes me want to pull my hair out

She is so frustrating.
The clothing issue is getting ridiculous and it all comes down to dad & step-mom trying to save a few dollars.
After asking them to purchase one pair of better shoes rather than the two pair that they are supposed to purchase, they said okay as long as it was under $20 as that's the most they spend on 2 pairs...ridiculous, I asked for them just to send me the $20 and I would purchase a pair as I knew the pair N wanted at Walmart would be around $25. We are not talking about name brand here...so N shows her the shoes at Walmart and she sends me several e-mails stating that they didn't buy it because I said I was going to buy him $60 name brand ones which wasn't what I had said. Fine, whatever got that straightened out and she says she'll buy him the pair.
Now she tells me she purchased the shorts & shirts, my only question was to my son if he would wear what she bought and he stated yes...great. I didn't care that they were each on sale for $3 each, but if we do the math on it then they have spent $35. I had also asked that they send me the $$ for his jeans as I found last years pair with the tags still on (size 14husky for $9.99), which made sense on why I kept having to purchase more clothing & shoes than expected not the cost but the size.
She told me she purchased him 16husky this year...my son is NOT HUSKY, at 13 he weighs 105 pounds and is taller than me. She is buying him kid sizes to try and save money.
ughhh...WTH, it's frikkin ridiculous.
I swear that next year I'm going to tell them just to forget it. Supposedly they spend $150 on clothes, I'm seeing $75 being spent on clothing and it's crap that won't fit.
