Tips & Tricks Tuesday: Making a list of school supplies

If you’ll be shopping for school supplies anytime soon, you’ll know it can seem like a long list of items. This week’s tip, shared by jeanniebean, shows a nice way to keep track of the best place to buy all your supplies.

My son is starting kindergarten in the fall, and we just got the supplies list. The school has a program which will ship the supplies to the school for $60. (!!) Going through Amazon I’ve found that I can get all the supplies for $44, but even that seems like a ridiculous amount for a few sets of markers and glue. So I’ve created a list with each item lists with the amount I found for it on Amazon. As the school supply shops come up I can add a due date and location (store name) to the items to make shopping easy and save myself a fair bit of money.
