The kids might not want to think about it yet, but the first day of school is just around the corner. With help from Joe Fresh, we’ve got tips for acing back-to-school shopping in style and on budget.  

Whether you’re counting down the days, or dreading its arrival, the first day of school is coming.  Read on for tips and tricks for getting your brood back to school in style and on budget, with help from Joe Fresh.  

Make a list 

This might seem obvious, but making a list is the first (and arguably, most important) step for back-to-school shopping. If you walk into the store without knowing what you’re looking for, you’re sure to miss some things. Before making your list, take a look at last year’s clothing and gear and zero in on what definitely needs replacing. Prioritize your list based on non-negotiables and nice-to-haves. Luckily, Joe Fresh has everything from clothing and accessories to outerwear and footwear in order to check everything off your list. And with wallet-friendly prices, you’ll be able to afford not only your high priority items, but many of those nice-to-haves too! 

Get the kids involved 

You’re way less likely to get pushback on wardrobe during the school year if you let your kids help choose their new clothing. Taking the kids with you on a back-to-school shopping trip might sound like a nightmare, but honestly, your weekday mornings will be much smoother if they like their clothes. We all remember what it’s like to have a special first-day outfit. Joe Fresh has tons of stylish options for every kid to choose from for that first day look, including a new tween collection that lets kids show off their elevated style after a summer of growth.  

Shop early and often 

There’s no rule that says you have to do all of your back-to-school shopping in a single trip. In fact, picking up a few things here and there throughout the summer can make the task less daunting. Make sure to browse the Joe Fresh section while grocery shopping. You’re already in store, so it’s a smart way to multitask and lets you take advantage of Joe Fresh’s weekly offers and promos. If you’re a fan of shopping online, joefresh.com is another great option. Nothing’s easier than having your back-to-school items conveniently show up at your doorstep. 

 With these tips and amazing Joe Fresh finds, you’ll be back-to-school ready in no time!
