Back to school shopping can take a toll on your family's budget, and can be a stressful time for many parents. But these smart money saving tips can help ease the financial strain of getting ready for back to school.
Take stock of what you already have. Sort through your child’s things to see what can be reused. Search out store brands. Office supply stores such as Staples often feature their own brand of notebooks, paper, and other school supplies at a lower price. Arrange a back to school swap. Gather your friends and relatives with kids of approximately similar ages and have them bring fairly-new or unused school supplies and clothes that can be exchanged. Take advantage of back to school sales tax breaks. Many states offer sales tax breaks on back to school supplies. (www.backtoschool.about.com)
