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.
For more deals be sure to visit your local Kohl’s or online and don’t forget to follow on Twitter and Facebook

I shop the after season sales for supplies I know my kids will need the following year. Saves me lots of money.

I like to start all my preparations early, including getting the kids into an earlier bedtime long before school starts.

We like to shop the early sales for new notebooks and pens, then go through our existing wardrobe to see what things we need to supplement for Fall.
Erika W. says
We get on a school schedule a week before school so it’s easier to wake up on the first day. When it comes to shopping, we definitely hit up sales and use coupons!
Brynn says
Go through your kids clothes and have them try on some things to make sure if they fit or don’t. Then make a list of what they actually need so you arent left buying more than what they need. It is easier on you and your wallet
Laurie says
Shop the Sunday circulars for all the best sales. Buy only the hottest deals at each store.
Carolyn G says
Shop year-round sales and stock up before the back to school craziness
James Robert says
My mom has helped me gather coupons to use and told me to watch for sales to get the things my kids need to go back to school

Always have a routine. We start practicing our school routine a good 2 weeks before school starts. Bedtime comes back and the alarm gets set for morning… it totally helps everyone when school starts up again!

I start the bedtime and morning rituals a week before school resumes.

i buy the pants/shorts on clearance the season before (i buy a size up) – and then buy shirts before school starts. It saves alot of $$$$
Annalisaa says
I always check the coupons I have and the sales going on to try to get the best possible prices on supplies and clothes. I go through my kids clothes beforehand to see what they need and get rid of what they can’t wear. I stock up on cheap supplies to be sure I have plenty throughout the school year.
L. Cromas says
Have clothes ready, the night before.
Holly c says
Just trying to get the hang of it this year. My oldest is starting kindergarten so this is all new to me.
Rebecca Parsons says
My back to school tips are have a list of all the things you will need. Don’t fret if you don’t have everything because some things can wait like a whole new back to school wardrobe. I get two new outfits and shoes and then get the rest as I can afford it.
Cindy Ray says
I start preparing my kids to get into the mood of getting ready for school 2 weeks before school starts with bedtimes and having to get up early in the morning. Its easier to start early and get them adjusted than to just try to throw them into a routine the day school starts.
Tricia Trundy says
I shop the sales thru the summer that way its not a rush before school starts to get everything needed.
Leigh Anne Borders ( says
If your state offers a tax free weekend, try to shop then! Big savings!

Lots of stores office 50% off one item close to back to school sales. I get a bunch of those coupons and everyday during my lunch hour I go and get one item, starting with the most expensive.
Madonna says
stock up on all the sale items. You will always need way more than you think you do.

Jennifer Pruneda says
My back to school tip is all year I am on the look out for any type of clearance on clothes, shoes, and supplies.
CHERILYN WHITE says
Buy only the essentials. Summer clothes are usually fine during the early fall, but be sure to have at least one pair of sturdy shoes. Check with your school to confirm dress code guidelines. Common concerns include extremely short skirts and shorts, low rise pants, bare midriffs, spaghetti strap or halter tops, exposed undergarments, and clothing that have antisocial messages.
Angela Y says
I shop at all sales and during tax free weekend.
Tara says
Shop early so everything is still in stock!
Barbara Montag says
We buy some of the clothes from a reputable consignment shop – mega savings!
And we have a smoothie for an easy breakfast the first couple of days.
thank you
Janet Gillich says
Shop the sales during the summer, even if you don’t know what your child needs, get the basics that you know they will need
Jasmine R says
Try to find the best deals and coupons! I also like to shop the clearance section. I save as much as I can on clothing and school supplies since I have to spend more on my little ones shoes because she has a wide foot! 🙂
laura ari says
Start shopping early and let your child have some control over their shopping. There’s nothing worse than donating outgrown clothes that were never worn!
Heather R says
basics like pencil and paper, I stock up when they go on mega sale for the following year.
Kate F. says
Shop for clothes and school supplies early.
Rita M says
Review information as soon as possible (about your child’s teacher, room number, school supply requirements, sign ups for after-school sports and activities, school calendar dates, bus transportation, health and emergency forms, etc.) to avoid any first-day-of-school delays.
sara graff says

Sarah C says
Not a shopping tip, but I read somewhere that when your baby starts school, you should plan an outing or something fun for yourself that first day, so it wont be quite as difficult. I plan on doing that this year.
Rebecca Orr says
I shop sales and deals all year long. It is what my mom did when I was growing up. She never had to scramble to get us new clothes, shoes, or supplies right before the start of school.

Start shopping in mid-summer to hit all the great sales.

Audra O'Hara says
This will be my daughter’s first year of school, so I’m not much of one to give advice. I am planning to gather all her things for the next day the night before. I guess everyone does that tip. I’ve thought about planning her entire week of what-to-wear each weekend as a time saver.
bianca roman says
i try to always shop/pick up things throughout the year because you can find some really great deals before the back to school sales happen.

We go shopping early even if we miss the tax free weekend sometimes it is for the best..The crowds are nuts and you cannot find the sizes..Use coupons also
