Three Ways to Save Time and Money on Back-to-School Shopping
Special to The Truth
New grade levels and new
routines mean it’s time to purchase back-to-school
essentials that will help make this year a success. Though
this time of year can be stressful for parents, a few tips
below will go a long way to helping you navigate a new
school year.
Save More on School
Supplies
School supplies are often
the top priority for parents and students when shopping for
back-to-school season. Start by referencing your students’
school supply list given by the school and determining if
you have leftover items from the previous school year that
can be reused. Check to see if your state offers a tax-free
weekend incentive to save even more. From pencils and paper
to binders, markers, calculators and planners, you can enjoy
hundreds of deals on the products most purchased during
back-to-school season.
Meal Prep Made Simple
The new school year is
often more chaotic than laid-back summer days, especially
when it comes to preparing meals for your family. De-stress
meal planning by taking one day a week to search ideas for
breakfast, lunch and dinner with resources like DG Easy
Meals, available at dollargeneral.com/easy-meals. Shop ahead
for easy snacks for your family to eat between activities,
like nuts, pretzels and trail mix. Making the switch to
private brand items, like the Clover Valley brand at Dollar
General can help you save on snacks and treats you already
love. With the right amount of preparation, you can easily
knock meal and snack planning off your list in no time!
