Budgeting Hacks: How to Manage Your Kids' Back-to-School Expenses this Season

Taguig City, Philippines – With the new academic year just around the corner, most parents, especially moms, are gearing to ensure a smooth back-to-school season for their kids. This entails making sure that tuition fees and miscellaneous expenses are settled in time for the beginning of classes while providing everything they will need, including textbooks, pens, paper, uniforms, and even gadgets, to be equipped with the right tools for their school tasks.

However, the overall cost of these back-to-school needs can strain your finances, especially when you have a fixed monthly income. This is why it is crucial to manage your expenses properly. As this task can be quite challenging, here are some smart budgeting tips you can apply to avoid overspending in the upcoming school year.

These tips are provided by Home Credit, a leading consumer finance company.

 

Establish a list of school essentials, other important expenses

Creating a detailed list provides an overview of the essential items your kids will require and the fees you need to pay for the upcoming academic year. This allows you to prioritize what back-to-school needs should be taken care of first while not missing out on anything important.

 

Before finalizing your list, do not forget to check your kids’ school supplies from the previous school year. Once you determine which items can be reused this season, you can check them off to avoid unnecessary expenses.

 

Determine your budget

Now that you have a comprehensive list for the back-to-school season, you can start looking over or estimating the costs of everything your kids will need. From there, you can establish a realistic budget based on your financial capabilities. This allows you to better manage your finances and make informed shopping decisions.

 

Take advantage of deals, discounts

Sales and discounts can significantly reduce the total cost when you are shopping for supplies. Taking advantage of such offers will allow you to save more money without compromising the quality of the items. At this period, you can also buy in bulk so you will have a stock of school supplies to last the whole academic year, minimizing your kids’ school expenses in the long run. Additionally, this will enable you to stretch your budget further to purchase additional items for your kids or redirect the saved funds to other essential expenses at home.
