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.

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

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 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.

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.

Currently my children’s school purchases supplies with our registration fee. But for the bigger things like backpacks I like to shop at Ross.

Having three kids, five years apart, makes it easy to anticipate what you’re going to need as the kids go through grades you’ve already done with the oldest. I keep a year round supply buying things I know I’ll need & need to restock (like Crayola 24′s) and pick them up for the stash when I see really good deals. Also bought the Staples discount card this summer- that helped me wrap up year end and start with back to school.
