π° Money-Saving Shopping Tips
- Shop during tax-free weekends (August 2-4, 2025 in many states)
- Buy generic brands for basic supplies - they work just as well
- Check what you already have at home before shopping
- Consider buying in bulk with other families for better prices
- Use store loyalty programs and coupons for additional savings
- Shop end-of-season sales for next year's supplies
- Compare prices online vs in-store before purchasing
- Don't buy everything at once - some supplies can wait until mid-semester
