Hard to believe it’s that time of year again! But the new school season will be quickly approaching before we know it. Only downfall of it is that buying all the school supplies for your little one can really rack up a hefty bill. Follow these top five tips on how to Target coupons your way through “Back To School” shopping and save your money!
1. Search The House First You wouldn’t believe how much supplies you actually have just laying around your house that you could be using as school supplies for your kids! Look in kitchen drawers, through your office, and in your children’s desks and you may end up finding half your list!
2. Stick to the Teacher’s List I can’t tell you how many times I get to Office Depot or Staples and I start going off the tracks because there are so many cute things there for kids! But usually those rack up more than the supplies you actually need, so just stick to what you need and maybe one side treat for the little one.
3. Compare the Flyers Just last week I was comparing an Office Max flyer to a Staples flyer and then I mapped out which supplies was cheapest and where. As long as the stores aren’t miles apart from one another, you can go to a 2-3 stores to get your supplies.
4. Buy School Supplies on a Sales Tax Holiday By purchasing your school supplies on a Sales Tax Holiday, you avoid having to pay taxes on it! You can check to see which dates are Sales Tax Holidays for your state at wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax holiday
5. Finally – USE COUPONS! I obviously feel very strongly about this one! For back to school shopping season, stores such as Walmart, Target, Staples, and Office Depot are all competing against one another to get you to shop at their stores. So they are pumping out some awesome deals and coupons such as baby coupons, household coupons, target coupons etc, but it’s your responsibility to find these deals.
