Not saving or not having a special budget for back to school can destabilize your finances.

In this article we give you some recommendations so that you can save on the purchase of school supplies:

Review the list of supplies you were given at school or college and mark those that you already have and that are in good condition, so that you do not buy them again.

Make a quotation in different establishments of the school supplies you need to buy and compare price and quality, this will allow you to acquire the ones that best suit you at a better price.

Purchase school supplies gradually, that is, little by little, thus avoiding large outlays. Last minute purchases cause you to go to the first store you find and buy the products they have in stock at that moment, without allowing you to compare price and quality.

Exchange school supplies with your family, friends or neighbors. Talk to them and raise the possibility of making an exchange of school supplies or backpacks, some may be in good condition and reused, so both parties will benefit from the savings.
