Smart Back-to-School Savings
Back-to-school season hits fast, and it hits the wallet hard. This time of year can mean spending on a long list of expenses: school supplies, clothes, sneakers, and sports gear, to name a few. But with a little planning and a few smart habits, you can keep your family ready for the new school year without breaking the bank.
Start by shopping your own shelves
School supplies can add up quickly. Before you head to the store, take inventory of what you already have at home. A quick check around the house can save more than you think.
Scout for sales
Many retailers offer late-summer sales, especially as school gets closer to starting. Waiting until the last few weeks could mean substantial savings. For bigger purchases like a laptop, calculator, or other tech gear, take a little extra time to compare prices across retailers. Some stores offer price matching or student discounts—even for K–12 families.
