news and information
There are football cleats,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], soccer uniforms and three pairs of shoes to purchase; eyeglasses to order; school fees to pay; and cartloads of 3-ring binders, glue sticks and colored pencils to buy. The school supply lists are as long as my arm.
With money especially tight right now as we head toward Year 2 of a one-income existence, I kicked my mad bargain-hunting skillz into high gear. Here are some examples of my penny-pinching prowess:
The seventh-graders in our school are required to have a TI-83 or TI-84 Plus graphing calculator,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and believe me, these things aren cheap. An amazing deal! And they arrived on our doorstep a mere three days later. Almost too good to be true.
Note: I never buy ANYTHING online without first checking for promotional codes. To explore your options, just google the product, brand or store name plus the words codes, and they pop right up on your screen. Some sites even list deal expiration dates and success rates. At checkout,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], copy the code into the appropriate box, and you experience Internet Shopping Nirvana.
And we exclusively use PayPal for online transactions. My hubby likes the protections it provides,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
My teen and tween love the resale shop Plato Closet (we shop at the one in Cross Pointe Shopping Center). Son always finds Levis and cargo shorts to his liking, and daughter can find all the animal-print tops her little heart desires and for a righteous price.
Another resale favorite of ours is Once Upon a Child, conveniently located next door to Plato Closet. My 4-year-old and I shopped there today, and he came out with 3 pairs of jeans, 2 pairs of school pants,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a dress shirt, 2 argyle sweaters (yes, argyle his choice!),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 2 long-sleeve polo shirts, a pair of sunglasses, a jean jacket, and a pants-vest-shirt-tie combo for special occasions all for $75.
Kohl has tons of clearance-priced clothes and other bargain opportunities. I got a $5 discount for providing my e-mail address (I could opt-out of the mailings later) and $10 in Kohl Cash for buying a few back-to-school items, then went back to the store a few days later and cashed in on a 15% shopping pass. This cut the cost of the kids new backpacks considerably.
Did you ever stop to think,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and forget to start again?
Plus,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who can resist those cute plush animals they stock at the checkout counter? $5 Pooh and friends are on sale through September, with the net profit supporting kids health and education initiatives nationwide. (Visit the Kohl Cares site to learn more.)
I also love the BOGO offers at Payless. If you buy one pair of shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you get the second the second half-off. There are several styles to choose from, and the clerks are always pleasant and helpful,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], even offering to track down desired sizes at other area Payless stores.
Meijers has had spiral bound one subject notebooks for 15 cents for the last 2 weeks.
And I do the same thing Amy, I buy as many as I possibly can and stock up for the entire school year. The same 15 cent notebooks will be close to a dollar a piece as soon as the back to school sales are over.
JCP had the new Reebok toning tennis shoes on sale for $79.95 and with a $10 coupon plus 15% off (internet coupon for filling out survey from last JCP shopping experience) I got them for $59,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].46! And most stores sell them regulary for $100,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Awesome deal!
Yes, always look for a promotional code.
As for tips, I stockpile school supplies. The past month has been the time to do it. I have a closet full of notebooks,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], loose leaf paper, protractors, binders, compasses, notecards, pencils, pens,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], highlighters, etc. Granted my kids don get the cool photo or design on their notebooks/binders, but if they want them to look cool,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they can decorate. The best part of having a closet full of school supplies is that during the school year there is no need to run out and pay full price for those last minute needs.
