Living large doesn't mean spending boatloads.
We get it: life is so expensive it feels like you never get to shop for anything but groceries. But back-to-school shopping is almost requisite. The key, and the irony, is in keeping it cheap. Here's how:
- Buy your textbooks online: Why pay bookstore prices when you can search 15 million titles and save up to 90% on everything? Our friends can find you the new, used, or rental textbooks you need at prices you can actually afford.
- Buy in bulk: Purchasing non-perishable items like soap and toothpaste can save you more than you think. And every dollar saved here is a dollar you don't have to borrow.
- Budget ahead of time: Know how much you can spend beforeyou go shopping. And never spend more than that pre-set number.
- Shop after Labor Day: Good things come to those who wait. In your case, discounts. This is especially true of clothing, as retailers are looking to unload what they didn't sell during the back-to-school season
- Buy used: Used furniture and clothing aren't old. They just have character. Check garage sales, second-hand stores, and even your local Goodwill.
