Get some shoe polish and shine up those old shoes, take them to a shoe repair shop to have the re-heeled or soled if they are worn down. This used to be a common occurrence with a shoe repair shop on every main street. Take care of your wardrobe to keep it looking work and wear worthy.

This is a great way to get rid of clothes your kid has outgrown and get the items you need for less. Use coupons and pair them with sales to help you save. Hit up fall garage sales. Even in the fall months, garage sales can still be found. Can’t find one in your area? Start your own! Check out eBay.

The other thing you can do once you’ve finished the whole process is have a garage sale! If you don’t have shoe boxes laying around, Amazon has some easy storage solutions as well that are much more in my budget! Use shoeboxes for storage.

According to the July 15, 2010 Back to School Survey from the National Retail Federation, the average family spent around $600 per child for back to school needs, split between clothing (37%); electronics (30%); shoes (17%) and school supplies (16%). I love to shop garage sales. Involve Your Child in Planning and Budgeting.
