Welcome 9News Colorado viewers! Thanks for stopping by. 🙂 Here is a review of some of the Back to School savings tips that I shared during this morning’s segment:
1. Use office store rewards programs to get great school supply bargains.
Office Max has backpacks, batteries, paper and more for just a penny each after rewards this week. Check out the Back to School section of Bargain Blessings [1] for all the details on these rewards programs and how to best use them at the office supply stores this week.
Both Walmart and Target will allow you to price match deals from other stores. This can be a great way to save time and of course money without having to drive to three different stores. Keep in mind that they do place some restrictions on the type of sales that they will price match, so you will want to get familiar with your store’s policy.Walmart’s Price Match Policy [2]
Target’s Price Match Policy [3]
3. Many of the best deals for bath to school clothes and shoes will be online. Here are a few of my favorite retailers this year:
–The Children’s Place [5] for kids clothing deals
4. Take advantage of low prices now and buy ahead for the rest of the year.
Think about what supplies you are going to need for the rest of this year. Does your child go through crayons quickly? Consider picking up a few extra packs. Do you go through a lot of batteries around Christmas time? As you can see from this week’s Office Max deals [7], back to school season is a great time to save on batteries! Do you run a small business? There is no better time than now to pick up office supplies at rock-bottom prices.
What other ways do you save during the back to school season? Please share in the comments section!
