Top Ways To Save On Back To School Supplies

Have A Plan

We all know what can happen when you go shopping without a list – mega overspending! One of the simplest ways to save time and money shopping for Back to School supplies is to know what you need and make a clear list. It also pays to do a quick inventory at home to see if your kids have got any supplies left over from last year.

Check With Your Child’s School 

Schools usually include essential tech and accessories in their BYOD or class supply list – before purchasing, just make sure you consult your child's school regarding the appropriate tech and accessories to ensure you select the right supplies for their needs.

Invest In Quality Items – If You Can!

When it comes to back to school supplies, there are certain items worth investing in, so they have more chance of lasting the whole school year. A good quality school backpack is a great example – we recommend looking for backpacks with wide, padded shoulder straps and a padded back. Or good headphones for productive studying.

Consider Bulk Buying

Sometimes shopping smart means thinking ahead and buying for tomorrow. It often pays off finding bulk buying deals and putting some stationery and/or small accessories away for a later date. No doubt the kids will need small essentials like USBs or memory cards along the way.

If you’ve got a small tribe to buy for, you have reason enough to shop in bulk, but if you’ve just got one little Einstein, why not team up with school friends or family to coordinate and save on your bulk school shop?
