Back to School Shopping on a budget

It’s back to school time and we are all on a budget.  How can you still get the clothes and supplies that you need without breaking the bank? Well, keep reading to find out how.

·         Separate wants from needs:  In most cases, your child’s school supplies from last school year can be reused. Review the supplies that your child currently has to see if new school supplies are really needed.

·         Look for back to school promotions: Wal-Mart usually has great promotions on all your back to school needs.  Visit their website for the most recent promotions.

·         Use coupons:  Most major retailers post their coupons in the Sunday paper.  Pick up your Sunday paper before rushing to the department stores.

·         Visit your local dollar store: Dollar Tree usually keeps a good stock of seasonal items.  This also includes school supplies.  Their online website is always up to date with what is in the stores.  Visit their website at www.dollartree.com.
