 “Back-to-school”
is almost like a season all of its own. Parents and students are
rushing to grocery stores and office stores to find the best back-to-school
supplies. Meanwhile, many of the best back-to-school supplies are
already sold out or mixed into the wrong piles. Here are some tips
for helping you shop for back-to-school
supplies.
• Most importantly, do not wait for the last moment. There
are many back-to-school supplies that you can buy for your child
long before school starts. You know that your child is going to
need basics like:
Pencils
Pens
Paper
Notebooks
Backpack
Pencil bag
• Before you go out and buy all brand new back-to-school supplies,
see what you can dig up at home. Very likely you may have some perfectly
good pencils, notebooks, pens, and other supplies at home. They
may not be brand new, but they will work.
• If your child insists on getting a new backpack but his
old one is in perfectly good condition – suggest sewing patches
on it or even painted it with some fabric paint to change it.
• For some supplies, you should wait until the teacher says
that your child needs them. If your child’s teacher never
mentions any necessary back-to-school supplies, ask. Find out what
kinds of back-to-school supplies your child will need for the year.
• Consider buying notebooks made out of recycled paper and
other products that are made with mother earth in mind. Students
go through a ton of back-to-school supplies a year – make
sure that you help eliminate the problem of waste.
-Do not buy more back to school supplies than your child needs –
and if you do, be sure to save them and use them the next year.
-If your child “brown bags it” every day, consider invested
in a fun lunch pail or a cloth sack to cut down on waste. Or, at
least, reuse brown paper bags for an entire week of lunches.
• Do not forget that back-to-school supplies can also include
shoes and clothing! Children grow up quickly, and this fact really
shows when they put on last year’s back-to-school clothing
and it does not fit.
