It's August. So, time to start buying school supplies and don't forget the clothing, bags and decisions and arguments about brand name or no name products. Lets get some tips to save your money on the expenses.
Five Back-To-School Shopping Tips To Save Money
- Dont't Delay - Shop early to avoid disappointment and get the best deals. Last minute shoppers will find their favorite stores are out of stock.
- Buying at Big Box Stores - If you have friends who are shopping for their kids you could try looking at membership stores or other bulk outlets as this will help save money.You may not be able to get everything you need but essentials like paper, pens and the like can be loaded up and split among everyone saving you money.
- Take Advantage of School Programs - Parents or classmates may be able to arrange for their school to purchase discounted supplies in bulk, sharing the reduced costs with everyone. Not only will this mean great savings - it also saves you all the hassle of finding supplies, shopping around or dealing with complaints about brands or colors.
- Season's End Savings - Stock up now on summer clothes and sportswear. End-of-season sales are a great way to find deals on clothes, especially for children participating in after school sports. Make sure that the clothes you but now can be used in the winter. Choose skirts that can be worn with woollen tights and tank tops that can be worn under shirts. Cropped trousers can also be tucked into high winter boots.
- The Perfect Backpack - Don't forget the bag! Kids bags are often far too large and heavy for them which leads to sore muscles and even headaches. Always choose a backpack that sits no lower than the waist and look for styles with padded shoulder straps and a waist strap for added support.
