September is approaching the threshold, which means that soon it will be time to choose a stationery, backpacks and all sorts of textbooks - the benefit of most of the textbooks of children is provided by their native school. For those who have already managed to think about gatherings for the training front, we present a small cheat sheet.
Check last year's balances
If your child goes to the line not for the first time, you should start preparing for the school year with the inspection and revision of deposits of stationery and similar equipment at home. Surely in the drawer of the table were lying pencils with rulers and protractors, notebooks and albums for drawing, materials for modeling and drawing. By calculating the reserves, you can seriously save.
Use online stores
On the websites of small wholesale or retail online trade enterprises, goods are often sold at a discount compared to a similar offer in a retail store. This is true for both Chinese consumer goods and branded things. The secret is that the store does not need to pay for the rent of warehouse and retail space. Do not forget about discount cards and promo codes, various promotional offers that make the purchase even more profitable.
In chain stores, you should look for something that does not require fitting manipulations. Also, do not forget about the delivery time - this may take several days.
Feel free to buy with your hands
Free classifieds are full of messages about books, satchels, manuals and clothes in excellent condition at prices with a 50-70% discount to the market. Another option is the portal "Daroudar" and similar resources, the help of friends or acquaintances.
An excellent solution would be the purchase of an electronic book: in a tiny device you can download a whole library, in addition to textbooks. There are versions with a screen with a plastic substrate - this will reduce the likelihood of its damage at times.
A good backpack is the first thing
A good product must be the receptacle of half a dozen textbooks, shifts, forms for physical education and snacking - as well as survive in school fights, active games, including a backpack, not to mention serving as a seat or ice.
Optimal for the younger teenager will be a backpack equipped with a frame orthopedic back and wide straps with additional fixation in the chest area. Its own weight should not exceed a kilogram.
This is the kind of thing that is highly discouraged from buying remotely. It is best to erest everything that is in the store, and choose not only beautiful, but also convenient. Optimally, if the fabric is water-resistant - schoolchildren are rarely added with raincoats and umbrellas. Important back-orthopedist and a large number of pockets and compartments.
Choose basic things and do not buy too much
Equally relevant for all acquisitions. A pencil case depicting a fashionable cartoon character this season in just a year may be a reason for nitpicking and ridicule. And your child, now lustful, will then give a principled refusal to carry "this crap" to the lessons.
Children's fashion is as volatile as adult fashion. Therefore, you should not chase it: it is better to take backpacks, pencil cases and uniforms of neutral colors and classic cut, give up ruffles, drawings, embroidery and similar "architectural excesses". Straight skirts and classic trousers go perfectly with everything.
In addition, a number of things children use only once a year - we are talking about ties, jackets and jackets, vests. Why buy something that is used once during the ceremonial construction in the schoolyard on September 1?
But the choice of a tracksuit should be approached with maximum responsibility.
Make large purchases at discount sales
At least your son or daughter will need two changes of clothes, shoes for school, a suit for physical education. This is the largest item of expenditure, so it is better to take care of it in a timely manner, during the August sales. Although there is a risk that the sale will be fake, with twisted price tags.
No less successful purchase can be done in stock and discount centers. A good option: buy two things at once - one for "now", the second for growth.
Underwear, handkerchiefs, a lunch container, all sorts of consumable paraphernalia, which very quickly loses its attractive appearance or disappears without a trace, can be purchased at least in FixPrice.
Covers are not needed
Paradoxically, books and notebooks do not need to be carefully wrapped with expensive and bright covers. They are not needed in principle: thin notebooks do not have time to be demolished during the time while they are used, and thick ones are equipped with a cardboard binding that can withstand most of the near-accident situations.
There is no point in defending textbooks either. By themselves, they are equipped with a plasticized cover or covered with abrasion-resistant varnish. School books are designed for several years of service and will not have time to be demolished to an obscene state. And if you bought textbooks yourself, what's the difference? At the end of the year, they will stand on the shelf or go to the Avito.
The main thing is convenience
Children are forgetful, so it is best to take pencils with a built-in eraser, which will allow you to make quick corrections to any drawing. Put a couple of large soft erasers too.
Class 5 a good solution will be not in need of sharpening mechanical pencils - they are simple and convenient to use.
You will also need a ruler - to fit into the pencil case. Everything should fit into it, including a compass, a protractor and scissors. The latter are better to take in a plastic case or with rounded ends in order to avoid increased intentional and accidental injuries.
