Quick Saving Tips<\/em><\/h4>\n

Shop with a Plan in Mind<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before you start shopping, create a plan!\u00a0 Map out exactly what you need and set a proposed budget so there are no unexpected surprises when it is time to buy.\u00a0 Most teachers issue a classroom supply list but you aren\u2019t going to use all of those supplies on the first day.\u00a0 Figure out which school supplies are absolute must-haves for the first few weeks of school and plan on budgeting for the non-essentials later in the school year.<\/p>\n

Consult the Supply Closet<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some perfectly good school supplies from last year\u2019s shopping spree could be hiding in the closet.\u00a0 Check your home supply closet, office desk drawer and your kid\u2019s backpack for salvageable supplies. Not all of your supplies should have to be brand new!<\/p>\n

Take advantage of a tax-free weekend<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many states have started hosting tax-free weekends just in time for back to school.\u00a0 If you plan accordingly, you can skip the sales tax and<\/em> score a great deal on all your classroom essentials.\u00a0 The Balance offers a complete list of participating states<\/a>\u00a0on their website.\u00a0 Unfortunately not every state participates, but the list continues to grow every year.<\/p>\n

Stay Organized<\/strong><\/p>\n

Back to school deals seem to start earlier every year.\u00a0 To keep track of the best sales, set a reminder for the sale start time on your smart phone.\u00a0 Create a checklist with an app like Todoist<\/a> or Google Tasks<\/a> \u00a0so no supply gets left behind! LD Product\u2019s back to school sale runs from August 2nd-10th, check out all of the great deals on our back to school deals page<\/a>.<\/p>\n
