Best tip for back to school supplies…
Don’t try to do it all in one day. The great money savers can take a few weeks to collect. I have been watching Staples this year. Each week they have a few things on a great sale and spend $5 get something for 1cent. So the last two weeks I have gone to Staples picked $5 worth of great deals used a coupon or two and got the 1cent items.

I watch the ads and shop the sales. I also keep an updated list in my purse at all times so I don’t buy more than I need.
I regularly look at the paper ads for my local stores such as Fred Meyer, Target etc. I also check online for the best deals!

I scour the discount racks all summer for school clothes. Coupons help with lunches and supplies.

I just wait for things to go on sale. No special tricks.
I follow on Google.
match store sales and coupons
Stocking up for the entire school year at the start of the school year will save the most money, even if you just buy the basics such as pens and paper.
