Summer is almost over, and shopping malls in the Philippines are starting to sell school
supplies for students who are about to have another school year. Exciting, isn't it?! Of course, there are no best days aside from the days you spend in
school for you to learn the things that must be taught only in school.

There are already some students and/or parents who are now
starting to buy some requirements for their next school days, they have already
what they need for school. Well, who would not want to buy ahead since they
know very well that there are so many people buying school supplies in the nick
of time, or even, they are still buying school supplies at the first day of
school.
Well, if you still haven’t bought anything yet and you are
also on a tight budget, you can definitely try these simple yet effect tips on
how to buy school supplies while saving your money. Here’s how:
1. Look for school supplies that will
last
They say, you have to buy the things even if it is not
durable enough since it is cheaper and you can definitely save a lot of money
from it. Well, I totally won’t agree. If you buy poor quality products, the
more you will buy that same product over and over again. You can say that buying
cheaper product that compromises its quality, then it is not the real savings.
There are actually a lot of cheaper products that are durable
and/or have a good quality. You should know what kind of things that will last
basing from the looks and how it is made. Do not buy products that are already
used and not sealed since there are possibilities that it is already a reject
product.
2. Stick to the list
This is one of the important things to consider. Be reminded
that you are on a tight budget and you don’t want to waste your money with the
unnecessary things which you are not going to use in school. You should buy
only the things that are necessary and are included in your list of
requirements.
Also, if you have the list, try to check that things that are
being bought. With that, it is easier for you to monitor what things that are
still lacking for you to buy it.
3. Clothing swaps
It is inevitable for some to have the need to buy new back to
school clothes. If you think that you are on a tight budget, you have to think
of other options on how you can save even if you buy a new pair of clothes.
Good for you if you still have the budget to buy one, but for some, they really
don’t have enough budget that is intended for the clothes.
Clothes swapping with your friends and/or classmates is one
way you can save more money. There are also times that your friend and/or
relative has an extra clothes that he/she did not use it anymore. You can
definitely ask for those clothes and make or transform it into something that
can still be of use to you.
4. Thrift stores
Of course this, if you are really on a tight budget, do not
go to a mall that you know their prices are high enough that you cannot afford
to buy that particular thing. There are actually a lot of thrift stores that
have school supplies and sells it in a cheaper price than the other stores. Of
course, you have to go to that particular store for you to save more.
These are just some of the things that you can on buying
school supplies even if you are on a budget tight. Just make sure that you know
how to manage and budget your money for you to buy the things that are needed
in the school.
