Tips to face the return to school
02/09/2025
With the arrival of September, families with school-age children have to face the economic burden of starting the course.
Spending on school supplies, books, uniforms or sportswear can throw any budget off balance. To help ease this moment, here are some tips:
- Plan and don't leave everything for September. Take advantage of the summer sales to buy as much as possible, for example, sneakers or backpack.
- Find out about existing grants and scholarships in your community or your town hall for books, transportation, dining room, etc.
- Take advantage of all the school material from the previous year that you can.
- Compare the price of textbooks and ask for the option to make the payment in several installments.
If your children are wearing a uniform, reuse the clothes in good condition from the previous year and if they do not have identification from the center, compare prices from different establishments.
