Welcome to the Back to School Blast!
Getting your family prepared to head back to school, can be difficult especially after a long, fun-filled summer. Here are a few of our favorite Back to School Tips to help you along the way.
1.
Back-to-School Supplies Checklist – Backpack? Check. Pencils? Check. Safety scissors? Not Yet. Use the same checklist each time you head out to grab supplies, to keep track of what you have already purchased and the things you still need to. These are also handy if you have more than one child. Simply print 2, 3, 4 list and add their name to the top.
2. Be aware of back to school sales. Around the end of July or very beginning of August Old Navy usually has their $10 jeans sale. This is where I get my boys jeans for back to school. Great price for good jeans.
3. Walmart, as many know, has awesome prices on back to school supplies but did you know they are already started putting out some of their deals. I was at Walmart today and they already had the 17 cent notebooks out.
4. Famous Footwear also has their buy one get one half off sale so if you have more than one child (or one child and want a pair of shoes for yourself) this is great. Also around the end of July or beginning of August they put out the 20% off coupon too that you can add to this sale. If you have a Famous Footwear rewards card you also earn points towards free dollar off rewards.

Setting the clock 15 min. early to keep from rushing.
Best back to school tip: Some school supplies from the previous school year can be reused once again. A lot of the same supplies are needed for the next grade and if previously used supplies still have some life in them, then clean them up and reuse them. No need in throwing away perfectly good supplies. And it saves money.
My best back to school tip is to get prepared early. Start the schedule at least a week of time so the kids can get ready to start waking up on time and easier for that first week of school.
We always wait until the school sales start and the tax break holiday which is the first weekend of August typically before shopping for my three oldest for school clothing and supplies. Every little bit help 🙂
Get lots of rest and be prepared. I know so many people who wait until the last minute to get stuff and then they lose their minds.
Thanks for the giveaway! =)
