It's that time of year again. Time to head to your local big box store and stock up on school supplies. There are things you should know before you grab your car keys and shove the kids in the car. Luckily, Target has some great ideas and items to help you and your wallet out this season.
1. Don't buy more than you need. Check out what you already have in your house. You might be surprised how many items you still have from previous years.
2. Get your kids list of "need" items from their school and go over it before you leave the house. Your local Target can also help you out. Stores now have your school's list online and even in their in-store kiosks. This is a great way to keep you focused on what you need, assist you in dividing up items with other parents or members of your household too. Saves you time and money all around.
3. Just because you need to save money and time doesn't mean you can't go green this year. Here are some great offerings for students of all ages.
