Its Neo’s first time at school. It was difficult not to splurge. I have to be practical in buying the things
he need at school. This is my first time
to shop for school supplies for the little one.
What are my take away?
BUY
DURING LEAN SEASON
– don’t join the rush and demand time.
Make sure to buy school supplies during the low season. But be careful in buying things like shoes,
clothes. You can’t buy shoes 6 months
before the school starts – because it might not fit anymore.
BUY
IN ONE GO – since it
was my first time, I bought school supplies one at a time. Little did I know that the Php200 I spent
during shopping is now Php2000 when I added all the receipts. If I had bought it in just one time shopping,
I could have been more cautious about the price.
BUY
QUALITY PRODUCTS
– quality always comes first. Buy things
that are durable so you won’t need to replace it within the school year or
better yet, your child can use it on the next school year J
SET
A BUDGET – never
forget to set a budget. Since this is
Neo’s first time to buy school supplies, it was so hard not to buy things that
are “cute”, even though he won’t use it.
The hubby would always remind me to set a budget for a particular thing
and stick to it.
SHOP
WITH THE STUDENT
– remember, it won’t be you who’ll be using these things – it would be your
kid, who’s the student. Bring him along
so he/she can choose what he want. Just
help him along the way.

It was the little boy who picked
this bag.

Mommies, what are your take away
when you shopped this year for school supplies?
I’d like to add some to my list so next year I’ll be more prepared J
