Back to School Money Saving Tips at the Arc Store in Oroville
For many families, back to school time typically means a significant amount of last minute family budget-crunching to get each child at least a few of those items they just “have to buy” to start school. Here are a few money saving tips from the Arc Store in Oroville.
1. Don’t underestimate a good pair of jeans
Instead of buying new name brand statement jeans, how about a pair of already comfy and broken in, slightly worn jeans for less than half the price? Or, if your student really wants that brand-new pair with bejeweled pockets, we actually offer new jeans for sale at lower prices than some other retailers.
2. Go back to basics
We offer new camisoles and t-shirts in all the most popular seasonal colors to go perfectly with statement bags and jeans. We actually sell coordinating scarves and bags and great jewelry to pull together a new you, new school year look! And if you really want to save money and still have your student look fabulous, we have many quality brand name, previously worn tops and tees in stock to choose from. Your student can sport a new look every day at a fraction of the cost.
3. Be original
There’s no better way to make a fashion statement than to mix and match all kinds of brands, styles and color combinations to best suit a special look this year. Vintage jewelry and scarves with a Hilfiger top, Miss Chic jeans and a Forever 21 sweater. Or go bohemian with a vintage bag and crochet top. So help your student make a statement, or many statements, and save money!
4. Create a study space
Don’t forget to consider money saving tips when it comes to studying too. Remember, your student has to keep the grades to get where they want to go (while looking so great in Oroville Arc Store finds!) So designate a well-lit place to study and dream of the great future which lies ahead for student. If you need a desk and chair, the Arc Store in Oroville has all sizes and shapes, reasonably priced for families with students. You can also find lamps and wall sconces to make sure eyes don’t tire with all the studying that’s sure to happen! Add a few frames for pictures of old and new friends, and a mug for pens, pencils, and highlighters, and you have a space for studying interesting new topics and ideas. (Or just math!)
5. Get lost in a book
Parents and Grandparents of small students, please don’t forget to read every day to your little scholars. You don’t need to spend a fortune on great books to inspire their imaginations and love of learning when a child’s book cost a mere fifty cents at the Oroville Arc Store. They will always remember the time spent sharing a book and a snuggle with you long after they forget the words they’ll want you to read over and over.
6. Keep growing
The last of our back to school money saving tips from the Arc Store in Oroville is to keep coming back. Children grow so very quickly, but shopping at second hand clothing stores means more clothing for less money while your little one plays and grows. (And less laundry throughout the week, too!)
Please also don’t forget to instill in your students a sense of being thrifty, recycling, and being good stewards of our resources and earth. All ideas they can learn from you, while having fun shopping and saving money at the Arc Store in Oroville.
