Remember when returning to school meant investing in a few notebooks, a fresh box of crayons, and new shoes? In case you wore a uniform university, you most likely got among those too; otherwise, you’ve got a couple of new outfits. That was it.
Well, times have changed. The availability list now contains items that was once supplied by the schools – like scissors, glue and tissues. Every child needs a new backpack, notebooks, paper, pens (red, blue and black), glue sticks, ruler, tape, scissors, markers, folders plus a calculator. When you have two children and you shop the sales, you could still turn out spending more than $100.00 in supplies alone. Knowning that doesn’t even count the modern clothes your kids “has to have” or even the fees that are necessary for art projects, lab costs, etc.
Don’t even get me moving on the supplies, including furniture and appliances, your youngster needs for college. Does it ever end?
Below are great tips to save cash paint set this year.
1) Recycle – Verify whatever you have in the home. You probably have assorted crayons, markers, colored pencils, etc. already there the home. Put these together in the pencil box and that will help save a few bucks.
2) Re-use – Kids think that last year’s backpack needs to go, but a quick trip from the automatic washer may give it new life.
3) Reduce – Does your kids have a notebook from this past year which includes three pages of written material in it and 77 blank pages left? Have you find this notebook from the trash can – or worse – the garbage? Now’s fun to debate waste and keeping it down through getting the most use possible out of every item.
