www.insideHALTON.com · OAKVILLE BEAVER Wednesday, August 8, 2012 · 16 Fall Registration Tips for back-to-school shopping Continued from page 14 Many teachers, in an attempt to help parents save money, publish school-supply lists online in advance of the school year. Most teachers do not vary their requirements from year to year, so if your son or daughter has been assigned a teacher, ask around among last year's students to see what that teacher requires. This way you can head to the store or comparison shop online at your convenience. Some supplies are standard regardless of class assignment. These include pens and/or pencils, folders, spiral notebooks, copy paper, looseleaf paper, erasers, crayons, markers, and highlighters. Purchased individually, the per-unit cost of each item may be higher than purchasing these items in bulk. This is when the advantage of buying in bulk shines through. Here are some helpful hints for parents about to shop for school supplies. * Shop for frequently used items in bulk, whether from online wholesalers or through a warehouse store for which you are a member. * Collaborate with a few different school parents to chip in for school supplies. Then one parent does the shopping and splits the supplies with the others. * Keep a stockpile of supplies at home. They do not expire, and next year you may not have to shop at all.
