Back to school shopping is pretty different this year.
For clothing, it can be pretty tricky because a lot of stores still don’t have their fitting rooms open. Online shopping is definitely a great alternative, but there’s also major delays in shipping. Can be worth it to go to one store that you know that your kids sizes in – most stores are accepting returns at least.
As for supplies, there are some new ones for sure. Some schools are asking for Lysol wipes, kids might end up needing to wear masks either in school or on the buses and of course lots of hand sanitizer.
Even as far as clothing and lunch stuff for the little ones – they now need to be able to handle everything, no help opening or zipping stuff up.
And with so many schools announcing that kids won’t be able to use lockers, keeping things simple is key too. A lot of online stores have pretty big sales on basic school supplies, can be a great time to stock up right now.
