Ways to keep the Kids and Your Wallet Happy
As summer winds down, preparing children to go back to school becomes
priority. From the essential classroom supplies to new wardrobes, back to
school shopping can come with a hefty price tag. “Families with more than one
child, can undoubtedly understand the small fortune it costs to prepare for the
school year,” said Michelle of Swap.com. “When hand-me-downs are not an option, and
wallets have run thin, there is another way to get this years must haves while
making a profit on last years items.”
Swap.com is the largest online consignment store for kids’ and
children, and has a variety of back to school essentials. Users have the
ability to easily sell, buy or swap their children's outgrown or unused items
from previous school years.
Michelle shares Swap.com’s back to school essentials to prepare your
youngsters for a great year.
In with the New, Out with the Old.
Children tend to grow a size every season. That means four seasons =
four completely new wardrobes for all of your kids. Instead of storing away last seasons attire
in hopes that one day it will come into use, why not sell the items? Chances
are, if your child needed the items, many other families will too, even in
cases of school uniforms. Many of the “required” school garments are available
for resale, and can be found for a portion of the price.
Essential Gear
Back to school shopping is a nationwide phenomenon. Because of this,
many stores sell out of the essentials quickly, leaving a small variety of
unwanted items behind. Last year’s backpack and lunchbox just won’t do, an
upgrade in inevitable due to the tatter its experienced from a year of use.
Many would prefer to hand these items down to the younger child, yet, if one
gets a new backpack that usually means new backpacks for everyone. Chances are,
not all your toddlers will appreciate big sister’s old Barbie backpack.
Instead of going from store to store to find the “right” backpack for
your selective youngster, why not use a consignment shop? Resale shopping
offers a variety of options of gently used items. Spending time and money on
these products can be much easier and less expensive.
Jump Start Their Education
Get your kiddies ready for school with an early start on their
education. Swap.com offers a range of products; from flashcards to booksets for
early readers, beginning readers, interactive books, learning workbooks to
junior novels and more. Preparing your
children ahead of time will make for an easy transition into the next school
year. Learning doesn’t have to be a drudge.
Make Money from the Last School Year
While you are preparing for the new school year, don’t forget that
last year’s goods can turn into money in your pocket. The gym shoes that your
daughter grew out of or the uniforms from your son’s previous school year don’t
have to be forever imprisoned in the attic.
