Save on back to school supplies
Begin shopping by focusing on the essential items.
Whether your kids start pre-school or head off to the university this year, you can buy them everything they need without breaking your bank account.
Here are several tips to help you become a savvy back to school shopper this year.
Reuse, with flair. Some supplies have to be replenished, but many are still perfectly usable.
There’s no reason that three-ring binder has to go in the dustbin if it still works.
Even if it’s covered with an assortment of last year’s stickers, it’s amazing what a bit of adhesive paper and scrapbooking paper can do, particularly when you put your kids in charge of the refurbishing.
Use cash instead of credit cards to pay for your back to school supplies.
Paying for supplies with cash allows you to keep an eye on your funds and to stay within your budget.
Begin shopping by focusing on the essential items, including required school supplies or required textbooks, for college students.
If you spend all of the money you have budgeted for back to school shopping, take a break.
Once school has started, you may find that you have everything you need.
If it becomes apparent that the kids still need some more supplies once school starts, prioritise those items and shop accordingly, using cash and staying within your budget.
Head to the supermarket for basic supplies.
Check weekly circulars for great deals on pens and paper, and get your weekly grocery shopping done at the same time.
