Struggling with School Supply Shopping?✏️ Let’s Make It a Win-Win! 🌟

heather • August 12, 2024

Ever feel like school supply shopping is just another item on your never-ending to-do list? 🙋‍♀️ 

With the endless emails and websites, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.  And then there’s the added frustration of last year’s supplies coming back home, barely touched.



Here’s the reality: 👀


❌Composition notebooks with plenty of unused pages

❌Spiral notebooks still half full

❌Binders almost as good as new

❌Pens and pencils in abundance


💚What if I told you there’s a simpler way to tackle this?



Instead of buying new supplies, why not get your kids to pull out the used pages from last year’s notebooks and binders? It’s a quick fix that can save you money and reduce waste.




Why bother?



Check out these eye-opening stats:


🌍 On average, we spend around $122 per child for school supplies each year.

That’s about $85 on basics like paper and pencils.


🌍 77% of those supplies are wasted. That’s a lot of money and resources going to the landfill!


🌍 By choosing to reduce, reuse, and recycle, you’re not just saving money—you’re saving time.

 

🌍 And who doesn’t need a little more time when you’re balancing work, family, and everything in between?



Want to see a real-life example? 👀
