I always get stressed when it comes to back to school shopping. This year I am trying to be smart and stay on track with my spending. Whether you’re shopping for school supplies or clothes, here are some simple ways to keep back-to-school shopping affordable and less stressful than before!
1. Make a list
If I were to go into a store without a plan, guaranteed i will walk out with more than what I went in there for. That being said, the best thing I and you could do is go in with a list and stay focused!
2. Shop Sales
Use coupons and if Shopping online, some stores offer discount codes to use.
Stores are always have sales. However, during back to school time the sales seem to ramp up. Buy more save more? Not necessarily. I personally don’t go for the buy more save more. I go for the buy one get one free or the item that was 2.99 now on sale for 1.50! BUT, if the buy more save more fits your needs by all means go for it!
My go to for school supplies is Walmart: Link directly to Back to shopping below.

3. Save on Clothes
Kids not only grow fast! Plus with so many trends coming and going, who knows how long that outfit is going to be #1 pick. A few options i have come across are thrift stores and Consignment shops. Not only are they cheap, but if you take your time, you may be surprised what you can find.
Online resale stores like Poshmark and Mecari Those are great for finding trendy, stylish, gently used clothes at half if not more off retail prices. Put the old with the new and there you have it. A stylish, yet trendy outfit for school!
4. Take your time and don’t procrastinate
When i say take your time, i mean start early. If you see something that is a good deal months before school starts and you can afford to get it, buy it! That’s one less thing you have to get later. Please please don’t procrastinate! We all know school shopping can be a stressful.event for people, so the sooner you start the better things will be for your peace of mind.
5. Final back to school thoughts:
As parents,back to school time has an abundance of emotions. One of those being stress that school shopping can have. But if we give ourselves enough time and stay focused on the list I believe we can get through it! Have fun with your child ir children. Picking out everything from pencils, backpacks, lunch boxes, notebooks and all the school essentials they will need to succeed.
HAPPY BACK TO SCHOOL SHOPPING 😄
