6. Beat the Shopping Crowds

Purchase Early and take the stress out of going to the store only to find the shelves empty or items picked over. Purchase school supplies and uniforms early to ensure that the supplies and clothing sizes you need will be in stock and delivered on time. See what’s in my delivery box.

7. Purchase New Bedding

Purchase New Bedding or at a minimum refresh the sheets and make it a habit to do so at the start of every school year. You will be surprised that such a small purchase can have such a big impact on children of all ages. And you can’t deny it, it makes us excited too! Don’t miss it!
