Going back-to-school shopping with children during holiday season? Oh dear. The packed shopping malls, long queues and endless store-hopping with overstimulated little ones right, left and center can be a nightmare for any parent. And shopping for school supplies is serious business. You can’t miss anything or else, you’ll have to plan for another outing (eeep!). So wouldn’t it be nice to have just one place where you can do your back-to-school shopping, ever so happily? Oh wait, there is such a place indeed.

Smart Shopping Tips
Now that you’ve got your shopping list ready, it’s time to prep yourself and the children for a fun shopping trip! Here are some tips for you to avoid overspending and unwanted drama at the mall:
- Stick to your shopping list
No matter what your heart tells you, check off all mandatory items first before you spend on extra ones.
- Prep your children in advance
Let your children know that this is strictly a back-to-school shopping trip. Give them their own shopping lists, so at the same time, you can also teach them about financial responsibility.
Some items may be pricier than others, so be sure to get the best value for your money. It’s okay to spend a little more on good quality school attire as they’ll most likely last longer.
We recommend weekday mornings, when most people are at work, or Sunday mornings because #lazySunday.
