Back to School Money Saving Tips - Buy Used


Getting ready for Back to School can seem daunting, but it doesn't have to be. Your Retail Helper has teamed up with Chrissy from Becentsable to compile our best Back to School money saving tips.

Tip #7
Buy Used

Not all school supplies, clothes or gear have to be new.
  • Ask friends and families if they have left over supplies or clothes they’d like to sell/trade. 
  • Try Craigslist. You’d be surprised what you’ll find. Especially on sports gear. 
  • Shop Consignment Sales and Stores. There are great deals to be had. Check out ConsignmentMommies.com for a list of local sales. 
  • You can also score great prices at Garage Sales. However, be aware of your time and gas money. 
  • Selling your used or excess items can on Craigslist, at a Garage Sale or Consignment Sale can also be a great way to supplement your Back-to-School shopping.

I always snag school boxes when I see them at garage sales. I love them for organizing, but then my boys can choose from the different colors I have each school year. I found some crayons and glue sticks at a former-teacher's garage sale this summer. I'm also having my boys reuse some of their supplies from last year if they're still in good condition. (They're 5 & 7, so they don't mind not having brand new stuff yet!)
