The start of the school year is coming up fast! For many students, boredom has set in and both kids and their parents are ready for school to begin. Parents may look forward to sending their kids back to school, but they may not be excited to purchase all the necessary school supplies. With school supply lists getting longer, purchasing school supplies can be a daunting task. However, it doesn’t have to be. Read on for practical tips to start the school year off right!

First, make a list of what you need. Supply lists are available from your child’s school, or can often be found at the stores. Next, check out store ads in the newspaper or online to see where you can spend the least amount of money. A little research takes some time, but can save money in the long run. It will also help determine ahead of time approximately how much money you will spend. While many stores have deals, it’s best to go to one or two stores that have most of the supplies you need so you don’t spend more money on gas. If possible, it’s a good idea to go shopping early in the morning or later in the evening on weekdays, when stores are less crowded.

In purchasing school supplies, stock up on things your child may need later in the year, such as folders that wear out. School supplies will be more expensive a few months from now. If your budget allows, consider purchasing some extra supplies and donating them to either a charity or your child’s classroom. Your child’s teacher will appreciate having some extra supplies on hand. Many charities and businesses have school supply drives to help every child be ready for school.

It’s a good idea to keep receipts for your purchases. In some states, money spent on school supplies can be deducted from state income taxes, making for a nice deduction next April.

A little planning can make school supply shopping less of a chore, and will send the kids to school ready for a great year.

Is it better to do back to school shopping in the spring?

One of the best ways to save money on back to school shopping is to buy the things you might need when they are on sale. So, when winter clothing is on sale in the spring, you will most likely get a better sale price than waiting for the "back to school" rush in the fall. You can also use times throughout the year when school supplies are on sale so you can save money there as well.
