The other day I showed you how easy Back to School shopping can be with a little help from #Kohls101. They are a one stop shop now thanks to the corporation of Kohl’s and Office Max. From uniforms to shoes to backpacks and now this year you can even purchase all the school supplies like pencils, paper, glue and anything else that is needed for Back to School for all your kids right there in store making Kohl’s your one stop shop and be done all in a day.
I know for myself as a busy mom of 3, this was a huge time saver. I didn’t have to run from store to store, drag the kids around town and with 3 things can get difficult. We’ve all been there, say no more and visit your local Kohl’s this year and see how easy it can be to shop for Back to School. After shopping is done you can relax on your porch or deck with a nice cold drink and think about how you could be running around in the hot summer heat trying to find all the things for the kids to head back to school. Ahhhhh ….. you will have a smile on your face.
A few Back to School tips from our home to yours to make the Back to School Routine a little easier on everyone
-
Prepare Breakfast ahead of time to eliminate the last minute rush in the morning and ensuring the kids will have a healthy breakfast to start the day. You can prepare it the night before and just either pull it out of the fridge or re-head in the microwave. Home Cooking doesn’t have to be difficult but will make a world of difference.
-
Put out the outfit for the day the night before, that way you know if a sock or a shoe would be missing and you can find it before you go to bed, rather than running around looking for it in the morning.
-
Wake up your little one 30 minutes earlier to give them time to adjust to the new wake-up routine and to give them plenty of time to get washed up, teeth brushed, clothes on and all the fun little things that take the kids forever to do, that will ensure that you will make it out the door in time.
You will even love it more if you have a little extra help. I know the prices at Kohl’s are awesome and can’t be beat by other stores, but how sweet would it be if I tell you, Kohl’s is offering one amazing 2Boys+1Girl=OneCrazyMom reader a $100.00 Kohl’s Gift card to go shopping for their very own Back to School items and see the time savings for themselves. YUP… that is exactly what we are doing, giving away 1 $100 gift card, be sure to enter below ~ Good Luck and Happy Shopping.

My tips for school shopping is using coupons and watching sales at Department stores to get the best deals. Kohl’s gives cash back on purchases, and they now sell school supplies. So I save money by shopping at one store and getting these deals.
Jacqui Odell says
I love shopping at Kohl’s! We have already gotten several clothes there for the school year!
Dede says
We don’t wait until tax-free weekend anymore! I tried that last year and it was so crowded everywhere, plus all of the supplies had been cleaned out. So this year, I shopped early (even if I didn’t get the best sales) and now have total peace of mind because we’re ready!

Anne says
With 5 still in school this year we go through EVERYTHING and make a list of what we have and what we need. We scour thrift shops for hidden gems and then hit the stores on sale days. Also – every paper gets signed and distributed the night before and backpacks set out as well.

Summer has just been flying by! I can’t believe it is time to start thinking about back 2 school. My tips is to have a plan and stay organized. We pack bags the night before and I have bins for different lunch items so we can grab quickly and have a veg, or fruit, etc.

My best back to school tip is to get the kids re-acclimated to the bedtime schedule. No matter their age, it’s difficult. A week before school starts, start shifting their bedtime up a little at a time.

Samantha says
I used to frantically get school supplies just before school started….wrong idea, most of it was picked through and the prices were high. Now I got early each week and pick the sale items only and get enough for the start of school and the whole year….if you start early enough and just get the sale items, towards the end there isn’t much more you need….I always get stuck on folders though….but found buying them in bulk at Costco helps.
