Tips to Trim Back-to-School Costs
My kids love looking through sale ads looking for the things they need. even when we go into a store if they see something they want, they will ask, is this on sale, if not they will check the sales circulars each week hoping it's there and save up thier allowances toward items they want. such as a new movie or toy. I found that keeping them involved in decisions about spending our money keeps them from wanting too much, like in the summer we cut out the cable bill so that we have more money for things like trips and going to movies.

I began early on teaching my kids value of money. To make them feel comfortable in school, I try to get them the shoes of choice up to a certain amount. Involve them in small money-related things that you do. If you have cable tv,let them know that your bill is very high and its hard to buy expensive shoes, but that you will do what you can. Let your child know its hard but you will set a price for him or her and hope they can find something they like. You can also help them find big sales or discounts to help out.
