School Supplies Website
Shopping online for school supplies could help you snag even better deals.
August is here and the back-to-school rush is on. If you’re like me, you work all day, which means shopping for school supplies gets relegated to the weekends. The idea of taking three teenagers with lists around to the local stores on tax-free weekends ranks up there with Black Friday shopping in my book. Busy working moms need solutions that not only save money, but also time and trouble.
More often than not, turning to a little high speed, online shopping can really save the day. If going out to shop for school supplies is your normal habit, consider turning your frugal energies to your keyboards this back-to-school season. Here are a few of my favorite tricks for saving money on pens, pencils, notebooks and more.
Check your email:
Go ahead and open up that email address you reserve for mailing lists and promotional offers. You were willing to give out that address to get a good deal; it’s time to check it for a few more great deals. Back-to-school season is a big money maker for retailers of all stripes, and they are more than willing to share a few extra rewards with customers on their email lists. A quick check of my own promotions tab in the good old Gmail box proved that it was stuffed with deals on cell phone cases, back-to-school clothes, computers and even a massage for when I’ve had enough of the school shopping.
Check the advertised sales:
We are so trained to tune out advertising on TV, radio and print that we might just miss an opportunity to save some cash. Most of the sales that merchants spend the money to advertise are good online as well as in the stores. The ads, especially in print, make comparison shopping quick and easy. I was able to quickly compare prices for things like crayons and spiral notebooks at Target, Office Max, Kmart, Michaels and Rite Aid. Office Max won me over with 10 cent composition books and tax-free savings over the weekend, but there are plenty of other stores offering sales that are a perfect fit for your family.
