Here’s how to pay less for absolutely everything at school and save yourself thousands of dollars.

For example, many families are time-poor and it’s often easier to send your kids to school with lunch money rather than a packed lunch. But a packed lunch is one of the easiest ways to cut costs on a daily basis.

This money saver takes a little extra effort, but the rewards are twofold. Aside from preparing a healthy lunch for your child, it also ends up costing you far less over the course of the year.

Find out other ways to save money on back to school shopping below.

Label It

Children always seem to lose things, but you can minimise lost property by sewing a button on your child’s hat so they can identify it easily. And always label your child’s belongings.

Cover Your Books

Cover schoolbooks with plastic covers, to protect them.Or better yet, let your kids cover the books with stickers.

Limit Their Choices

Limit the choices children have in the back to school shopping. Sell pre-loved items on eBay or to kids in the year below your child’s to fund new purchases.

Join A Parent Chat Group

Parent Whatsapp chat groups or Facebook groups allows you to get to know the other parents in your child’s school for you to figure out if certain items are required for school. 

See What You Have At Home

See what school supplies you can find at home before you buy anything new. Are there any from last year you can salvage?
