PLEASE REMEMBER TO WATCH YOUR SPEED Back to School Tid-bit: Don’t make these “Back to School” mistakes: 1. Mistake No. 1: Shopping at the wrong places Buying at the dollar store may be more expensive than at other retail stores with lower costs. 2. Mistake No. 2: Ignoring price drops after purchase Ask for price matching or get price adjustments. 3. Mistake No. 3: Buying all the school supplies on the list Don’t buy everything on the list for the first day. Wait till prices get marked down after school starts, then buy items. 4. Mistake No. 4: Shopping too early in the summer Wait for the sales instead of trying to get ahead and get the shopping off your “to do” list.
