Title: Twelve Ways To Save on Back To School Shopping.
Topic: Back To School Information
Discussed by Stacy Johnson
with Money Talks News (www.MoneyTalksNews.com)
Part 1 of 3
Back-to-School
Shopping hit a record $689 per family last year for items like clothing, school
supplies, and electronics. This year the National Retail
Federation predicts spending to be less per family – down to an estimated $635
per family.
Stacy discusses many ways to save, such as:
1. Start at home – take inventory of
supplies in the house
2. Make a list of what you need. Best
to make this list with your student. Stick to the list when shopping and resist
buying items not on the list
3. If you have made a list, set a
budget. Teach your student to stay within the budget. Think about rewarding your
student with any money left over as a reward for wise shopping.

Stacy discusses more ways to save, such as:
8. Buy in bulk – if it makes sense
9. Wait until the last minute – stores who overstocked will have good sales
10. Shop on Tax Free Days – in Texas tax free days are Friday, August 9 through
Sunday, August 11
11. Swap with friends - especially if you home school.
12. When buying stick to the basics. Teach your young shopper to buy the generic
tennis shoes and jeans and tops if they are on a budget.
This is a good time to let them keep their savings and become “What a Teachable
Moment”.
