Ex-soloist of the Mirage group Margarita Sukhankina is the happy mother of two adopted children: Sergey and Valeria. Not by hearsay, the artist knows that collecting children in school is not cheap pleasure. It is unlikely that they will be able to keep within 5 thousand rubles, but saving up to 30% is quite realistic if you know effective life hacks. The singer shares her secrets with readers.
Audit
Before you go shopping, you need to make an audit of everything that is left with the child from the last school year. Go through notebooks, stationery and put aside what you can still use. Based on the audit, make a list of necessary purchases. Still, buying individual items is more economical than acquiring everything new.
The form
If the school has concluded a contract with a factory or supplier and purchased forms, then you can be called lucky. If not, then you have to look for suitable clothes on your own. Margarita buys children things exclusively in a business style: dress pants, skirts, shirts, blouses, etc. The singer believes that the main secret to saving is not to shop in stationary stores and shopping centers, but on the Internet. You can find discounted clothes there. So do not be lazy and subscribe to the newsletter from such online stores as Lamoda, Detsky Mir, Daughters and Sons.
As for shoes, on the “shift” the artist gives children summer shoes: sandals, sandals, etc.
Sports uniform
But Margarita acquires sportswear for children in Decathlon or Sportmaster stores. She does not believe that children need designer outfits for physical education, so the budget options are quite suitable. A plain white T-shirt will cost only 99 rubles, sneakers - 599, and the cost of the costume will not exceed 1000 rubles.
Portfolio
Margarita recommends not saving on the portfolio, because first of all you need to think about the health of the child. Low-quality budget packs unevenly distribute weight, which can cause scoliosis. So give preference to orthopedic portfolios, not paying attention to the price tag.
Stationery
Margarita buys simple notebooks for children without drawings and beautiful covers: they are much cheaper and do not annoy teachers (teachers do not favor colorful notebooks). The singer buys stationery at the nearest supermarket for a couple of weeks until September 1. If you catch on at the last moment, then significantly overpay for goods of the same quality.
