Every family seems to have their own tried-and-true way of stretching their back-to-school budget, and your ideas could help other parents who are looking for ways to save.
Do you shop clearance sales throughout the year? Wait for big sales before making your purchases? Use coupons, loyalty rewards, or cash-back apps? Have you found great deals on Facebook Marketplace, thrift stores, consignment shops, or local buy-and-sell groups? Do you shop at home first to see what you already have to avoid buying anything extra?
Maybe your family organizes clothing or backpack swaps with friends, passes school uniforms down to younger siblings, or reuses supplies from last year. Do you compare prices between stores, buy in bulk with other families, or have a favorite retailer that always seems to have the best deals?
We’re also curious about the little tricks that make a big difference. Are there certain items you never buy new? Is there a must-have app, website, or social media group you rely on every summer?
