πŸ’° 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
  • Angalia vifaa ulivyo navyo nyumbani kabla ya kununua
  • Fikiria kununua kwa wingi na familia zingine kwa bei nzuri
  • Tumia kadi za uaminifu na kuponi kupata punguzo zaidi
  • 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
