Tips For Back To School
0Make a list for each child. Use previous years' expenses as a guide and compare notes with other parents.
0 If your kids are old enough, put them in charge of online comparison shopping.
0Review the school's dress code so you don't waste money on inappropriate clothing.
0Learn what your school charges for meals and weigh their convenience (and nutritional value) against the cost of home-prepared lunches and snacks.
More Tips
0Buy lunch items in bulk if your kids will be packing a lunch every day.
0For lunch, use reusable containers instead of plastic bags.
0Rent instruments before you buy until you know your child will stick with it.
0Again, MAKE A LIST. You need to write everything down, from socks to laptops.
