Back To School Shopping Tips

Do you have kids headed back to school? Getting all the necessary supplies can be overwhelming! One mom lamented that they could have groceries for a week or new uniforms and binders!

Back to school shopping is expensive.

Here are a couple tips to help you save money.

First, start at home! Go through your junk drawers, closets, and boxes you haven’t opened in a while. You’ll be surprised at what you can find.

Then shop around for the best price. Check online, second-hand shops, and look for sales or coupons. Find a couple of friends also shopping and buy in bulk.  

But of course, don’t forget to budget! Save up for these expenses as the school year approaches and be diligent to pay in cash. To create a budget you love, visit crown.org/money.
