Back-to-school shopping is wild this year—families are hitting stores early to dodge rising tariffs and inflation. Most are sticking to just the essentials, and big retailers are slashing prices on basics like notebooks and crayons (some under $1!). Pro tip: compare prices online and in-store, and don’t sleep on refurbished electronics or store brands for extra savings. For clothes, wait until after school starts for the best deals. Giving teens a gift card? Genius move—they’ll actually stick to a budget! #Education #BackToSchool #MoneySavingTips
