Back To School Season: Top Spending Traps

The smell of new notebooks is waking us up from miles away with hints of that September breeze keeping us on our toes. There’s no escape, back to school season is here! Here’s a list of top spending mistakes you should avoid as you prep for this academic year!

Too Many Supplies:

Schools have this habit of sending unnecessarily long lists of required supplies, even though we all know our kids won’t be needing 50 bottles of acrylic paint of different shades or 3 sets of watercolor brushes. Go through all the from last year and cross them off your list! Be realistic with what your kid actually needs and avoid just-in-case purchases.

Uniform Dilemma:

They grow up so fast, don’t they? No, literally! Size up for all their school uniforms so you don’t need to buy the exact same thing each year for double the price!

Last Minute:

Well, waiting till the day before they go back is the perfect move if you want to break the bank. Shop a little bit earlier before prices go crazy! It will also help you avoid the crowd and find everything you need smoothly.

Impulsive Buying:

Back to school shopping is the closest thing to the Hunger Games. We need to find the best quality at the best prices. And what does this need? Hunting! Look for different offers and don’t just buy from the first shop you pop into!

Well, this just scratches the surface of what goes down before school starts! Happy shopping with your littles!
