It’s that time of year again. Students and parents are hitting the aisles, buying up boxes of pens and pencils, notebooks, folders, pencil boxes, and calculators.
Here are a few money-saving tips:
Take an inventory. A quick look in drawers and closets could reveal supplies you may not have realized you had.
- Recycle supplies. Reuse pens, pencils, folders, pencil boxes, and other supplies from last year.
- Buy in bulk. Buy frequently used tools like pens and pencils in bulk. Most of the time, bulk buying is more economical.
- Check the super-discount bins. Sometimes you can find a great buy.
- Shop consignment stores, thrift shops, and garage sales to find gently used supplies.
- Watch for in-store or online promotions.
- Shop all year. Throughout the year keep your eyes peeled for sales on school supplies like notebooks and folders.
