The back-to-school season is the optimal time to restock your home and office supplies. Retailers offer a wide variety of merchandise in August and September, along with sales and deep discounts. Stock up on tape and scissors for wrapping gifts, paper and ink cartridges for printers, extra pens and pencils, or upgrade your technology.
Budgeting tips:
• plan around tax-free shopping dates
• take advantage of price matching
• buy used or refurbished technology
• take advantage of coupon codes
• use browser extension to compare deals
• take advantage of school discounts
