Its almost that time of year again where our little ones and big ones are going back to school soon. Some if not most of us already have our lists for what they need. Here are a few money saving tips to help with school supply shopping.
Tip #1- Reuse school supplies from last year.
When school was over in may dd came home with all of her supplies from the beginning of the year and to my surprise, She didn't even use half of her things. She had brand new supplies not even touched, they just had her name on it. So before you buy anything look at the old school supplies to see if anything can be reused for this year. Folders, pencils, crayons, markers, school boxes, scissors ect. You may already have most of the things you need.
Tip #2- Compare prices
Compare prices of your local ads to get the most for your money. Right now walgreens has a good sale on school supplies. This is a place i would have never thought to look since i live in the dollar stores. Comparing prices and doing research will save you money.
Tip # 3- Shop early
Sometimes with our busy lives and schedules we wait until the last minute to shop for back to school. If finances allow it start getting the things you need early on sale. That saves from having to fight with large crowds and finding the things you need. How many times have you went to a store to find something and they were sold out, so you have to search store to store, wasting gas and time.
Tip# 4-Keep and eye on those clearance sales.
Last but not least to help you out next year shop the school supply clearance sales. This way you will always have at least something on hand you know you will need and use for next year.
Like always may this help whoever reads this.
