17 Money-Saving Tips for Back to School Shopping

August 13, 2013 by Michael Inkman Leave a Comment

Without a plan, back-to-school shopping can become an expensive hassle. Here is a checklist that will help keep your family on time, on task, and on budget:

Supplies

  1. Stick to the teacher’s list of supplies
  2. Shop at home first; you may already own most items
  3. Wait until tax-free holidays
  4. Buy plain lunch-boxes and let kids decorate
  5. Put names on everything
  6. Clip coupons from Sunday circulars
  7. Shop discount stores first
  8. Don’t forget about grocery store sales
  9. Follow stores’ social media accounts for sale alerts
  10. Buy in bulk and split among multiple families

Clothing

  1. Vintage is big, try thrift shops
  2. If not vintage, go discount, such as TJ Maxx, Marshall’s, Nordstrom Rack
  3. If not discount, try gilt.com, zulily.com and myhabit.com
  4. Make alterations to old clothes: Hem pants, dye shirts, sew on cool patches
  5. Organize or find a clothing swap with other moms in your area
  6. Old Navy, Gap Kids, and The Children’s Place refund the difference on new sale items within 14 days
  7. Use Craigslist to sell stuff for extra cash
