And So The School Starts – Back To School

When I was a kid, I remember tugging my mum and asking her to get me new shoes for the next school year. So every time in back-to-school seasons when I see moms shopping for their kids, I fondly remember the same path that I used to tread with my Mom. But those were inexpensive days. Things could be bought at merry rates.

With inflation raising its hood, parents have a task at hand in coping with their children’s demands and children find themselves surrounded by beautiful and luxurious things, and find their expectations mounted. If you happen to visit shops you’ll find whining children, scolding parents, insistent shopkeepers, a plethora of fresh school stuff – pens, bags, bottles, etc and a whole lot of chaos.

Back-to-school discounts have become the new war mantra for top retailers like Aldi, Sainsbury, Tesco each of them coming up with range of offers from cheapest uniforms, cardigans, jackets etc. It might not sound frugal to buy hi-tech gadgets for students but Amazon’s Kindle, Apple’s I-pad and Dell’s Venue 8 Android Tablet boast of lower prices and higher educational value. Apart from being handy these help your child with their class work as well as home work.

Most of the retailers like Staples, Office Depot and Walgreens offer tax free weekend offers and discounts as well to boost their back to school shopping with their fresh stock of notebooks, markers, copy and printing paper, drafting tools, backpacks and lunchboxes, so on and so forth. Sears.com has a host of cool looking stuff for back to school supplies for kids ranging from bookmarks to ballpoint pens and laptop covers to trendy backpacks.

It is always recommended to make a checklist or get help from teachers to make most of the back to school shopping season. Although it is important to keep children ahead of time (owing to the enormous competition), as parents we should also make them realize value for money and when you buy a tech gadget for them. Make sure you keep an eye on offers and online discounts to buy the most in the least. Keep yourself updated with latest tech trends and fashion stores offering chic and stylish back to school supplies.

Online shopping has become a very convenient way to get exactly the stuff that is required. Find out what is most important and what would just lie unused so that you save your pockets.
