Best Time to Buy for Back to School Savings

When it comes to back to school shopping, it can be hard to figure out when to buy things to get the best price. Daily Finance, however, has made things a bit easier. Check out some of the purchases you may want to jump on now and those that you’ll want to wait on until August or September:

What to Buy Now:

  • Laptops: right now, the current standard laptops are at all-time low prices. Look for AMD processor laptops starting at $225 and Intel processor computers starting around $299.
  • Tablets: while these aren’t necessarily essential for school, there are a lot of tablet deals going on right now at places like Walmart, Best Buy and Staples. So if you’re thinking about purchasing a tablet, now may be the time to jump.
  • Clothing (Jeans): back to school clothing sales have started earlier than usual this year, so be sure to jump on them if you can. The best jeans sales are also happening this month when everyone is thinking about shorts, so stock up on denim now on the cheap for the upcoming school year.

What to Wait On:

Here are just a few of the things you should wait on until August or September:

  • Pencils and Pens
  • Notebooks
  • Glue Sticks
  • Sunglasses
  • Dorm Furniture
