Tips for Saving on Back to School
Thrift Stores.
Not kidding at all. You can find some seriously good deals at thrift stores and if you frequent Goodwill, you may find that they sell Target overstock items there. Not only can you find brand new clothes at pennies on the dollar, but you can also find lots of school and office supplies. (For the record, I have also found necessities like tampons, toilet paper and toothpaste..all brand new and close to free!)
Get an Early Start
The single best thing you can do to save on your back to school shopping trip is to start early. Buying a little bit here and there is much easier on your budget then having to buy it all at once at the last minute.
Yard Sales
As a parent, I realize how lucky I am that my kids feel no shame in yard sale shopping for deals. The truth is though, you can get lucky and grab some fabulous deals on great clothes shopping at yard sales. I bought a super nice pair of Miss Me jeans at a yard sale last summer for $1. Yes, you read that right, $1! The same pair would have cost $100+ retail.
Check Out What You Already Have
I bought in bulk last year and purchased 12 dozen Dixon Ticonderoga pencils. I still have 5 dozen of them. I also have several glue sticks and more! This is slimming down my shopping list. The lesson here is to make sure you look through the supplies you already have so you don’t overspend when you don’t need to.
Don’t stress about keeping up with the Jones’
We all want our kids to have nice stuff, but it is important to make sure you aren’t going over your budget in order to impress people. Even if you can’t afford the expensive stuff, doesn’t mean that you can’t have nice stuff. Just do it reasonably. Give your kids’ a money limit or a limit on how many of a certain item you will be buying.

Celebrate Pioneer Day With These Family Fun Activities & Crafts!
Pioneer Day is coming up on July 24th which is next Sunday! Many will be celebrating on the 25th but no matter what day you decide to celebrate (and whether you’re in Utah or not) here are some great ways for you to make memories with your family while celebrating those who came across the plains in search of religious freedom, better farmland or even gold!
Share Pioneer Stores – whether it’s stories of your own family or of others who came across the plains, this is a great way to celebrate pioneer day. Your kids will start to learn and understand how the pioneers survived and made the trek here.
Go on a Pioneer Trek – Gear up and take your family on a trek. You can talk about how long the pioneers traveled (over 1,000 miles) and the different trials they faced while traveling (Indians, floods, death, cold, hunger, etc) and how excited they were to finally make it to their destination. You could even plan your trek to end at a local ice-cream shop.
Do Pioneer Crafts – There are so many ideas of things you could create with your kids. Here’s just a few ideas with links to give you an idea of how to create these crafts:
Visit a Local Farm and Try to Milk a Cow – this is a great activity to do with the kids. If you don’t have anyone you know that would let you milk their cow try doing a quick google search. For all the Utah readers, you can milk a cow at Wheeler farm for a small fee or you can watch it at Thanksgiving Point.
Cook a Meal Over an Open Fire – if you don’t have an open fire in your yard you could reserve a camp site for the evening and enjoy a campfire dinner. Or plan a fun BBQ if that’s more your style.
Go to a Shooting Range and Learn How to Shoot – the pioneers had to shoot their food and gather it. What better way to experience this for yourself than at a shooting range.
Play Pioneer Games – Although there was lots of work to do they had to make time to have fun but they didn’t have all the electronics and games that we have now. So why not take you kids into the past and play some fun pioneer games like stick pull, hoop roll, marbles and spinning buttons. You can find instructions to play all these games here.
This year make some memories with your family and turn off all the electronics including the lights and spend time talking, telling stores or playing games. There’s no better way to show your family you love them and are grateful for them then by spending time together.
