Top 5 Ways To Save On Back-to-School Shopping
Top 5 Ways to Save on Back-to-School Shopping:1. Stick to your list.
The list can consist of needs and wants. The needs can ideally be purchased when the sales are loss leaders or door busters - the stores take a loss to get you in, but you win if you stay disciplined. Stock up on those basic school supplies, including pencils, paper, notebooks, etc. The wants purchases can be limited to those basic items such as backpacks, shoes, and select school supplies.2. Play the waiting game.
You will notice that your kids wants list will evolve once school has started, so use that to your advantage and save most of your shopping for mid to end of September, when the real sales start.
