Back-to-school Saving!

Kids go back to school within weeks! So the inevitable back-to-school shopping has begun. Canadians spend nearly $2 billion annually on back to school shopping, so here's some ways to save!

- Shop in your own home before you hitting the stores! You'll be surprised at how much you may already have!

- Consult bargain-hunting websites, like RedFlagDeals.com for the latest sales and coupons

- Do your homework for significant purchases. An informed purchase means money saved, so you won't have to replace it

- When shopping, use a credit card that has rewards. This way you’ll get something too!

- Deals aren’t the only way to save money. Many tax credits are available to students and parents for tuition, textbooks, public transportation and property rentals. Check what you are eligible for.

- Use a student or junior hairdresser. These stylists to be can be found in any college or university esthetics department, and give cheap cuts and colour as a part of their program.

- Borrow books from friends or the library. If those sources don’t have the books required and purchase is necessary, check alternatives liked used bookstores, bulletin boards and online forums first.

- Don’t worry about getting everything needed for the entire year. Remember, birthdays, holidays and mid-season sales can come in handy too.
