Ways to Financial Relief - Back-to-School

It’s back-to-school season and we all know that back-to-school shopping can be expensive. Everything seems to be more expensive right now. So we’ve put together some money saving tips that can help you stretch your dollars and, hopefully, take some of the stress out of back-to-school for you and your kiddos.

1. Take inventory of what you already have at home. Go through your drawers, closets, last year’s backpacks, craft bins, garage, etc. You may have a lot of what you need already and it may be in great condition.
2. Don’t buy everything all at once. Spread out the expenses by starting early and making purchases as you go. Students really don’t need everything on the first day.
3. Buy in bulk with family, friends, neighbors and school mates. Buying in bulk can save a lot of money.
4. Seek out sales and compare prices on clothes, electronics, school supplies, sneakers, etc.
5. Wait and plan. Texas has tax free days. Labor is full of sales. Look online for deals. Write down everything you think you need and plan your budget so when the right deal happens, you are ready to buy.
6. Host a back-to-school swap. Form a group then meet up or post on social media what you have available. Trade or pay it forward within your community.
7. Look for back-to-school drives in your community. Many organizations host back-to-school drives where you can pick up school supply necessities for free.
8. Make it a family affair. Working together shows your kids that this moment is important.
