- Compare Prices
“ Compare prices, analyze and evaluate discounts and promotions. It is important that you conduct a prior, and some advance, survey of the prices of the articles you want to purchase in physical and online stores. Check that the promotional campaigns for returning to class are effectively advantageous.”
- Carefully assess the use of credit
“Using credit, whether credit card or personal credit, to acquire school supplies or other products is a decision that should be well analyzed, weighted and consciously taken. The financial reality of the family must be carefully assessed. It is essential that the family bear in mind that the use of credit always presupposes the payment of high interest.”
- Request invoice
“ Don’t forget to ask for invoice with number of taxpayer, so you can deduct these expenses from IRS.”
