All school children (homeschoolers, public/charter schoolers, and private schoolers) need materials and supplies, tools, to perform their best.
1. Set a budget: Inform your child(ren) how much you are willing to spend based on product-category needs.
2. Create a list of needs and wants.
3. Never pay more than you have to.
4. Shop later in the season for discounts. Not every item on your kids' back-to-school list has to be purchased before the first day. What can wait? What needs should be brought during sales?
5. Have a smartphone? Turn your mobile phone into a shopping assistant. Choose free apps that enable you to get the best deals. You can also scan barcodes to compare prices on the items.
6. Do comparison pre-shopping by search on- and off-line.
7. Avoid using credit cards if you can not pay off within one month. Remember Christmas is coming...
