Well rest easy, but don't actually rest, get moving!  WKBW shared the "Top 5 best tips to follow for last minute school shopping".

Tip #1: Make a list- write down what is needed right now and what can wait until there's a sale.

Tip #2: See what's leftover- Odds are your child or children have supplies they didn't use last year, so save some cash and use it this year. Paper is paper, I promise none of the other kids will know its "last year's model".

Tip #3:- Spread out shopping- Find deals! Use that handy list you made and check out what stores have deals going on. Many stores have better deals after the school year has started.

Tip #4: Divide & Conquer- A lot of supplies are sold in multiples or in balk, Get together with a friend or another parent and split the cost. Don't over buy!

Tip #5: Use apps- Technology is a great thing, find coupons, and use them. Apps are right on your phone, and there's a ton of apps that can save you money, every little bit helps!

Hopefully this helps get you on your way to finishing this years school shopping. Have a great and safe school year!
