Womens Forum - The Place For Moms

Back-to-school is approaching fast, and for many, it has already started. As parents, we are most likely prepping and preparing our children for their first day of school. This includes purchasing a new back-to-school wardrobe, fresh school supplies, and grocery shopping to prep for the first week of lunches. The pricier item on our to-do lists is almost always a back-to-school wardrobe. Well, I've got some killer tips for finding the best back-to-school clothing bargains.

Where (and When) to Find the Best Back-to-School Clothing Bargains  

1. Close Out and Big Box Stores

Year after year, the back-to-school season provides parents windows of opportunities for grocery, department, and big-box store deals, bargains, and discounts. As a budget-conscious parent, I make sure to provide my child with the materials and clothes necessary for a new school year without breaking my budget. 

These are my top seven tips for saving money on back-to-school wardrobes.

My name is Kimberly Danger and I’ve been writing about frugal living over at Mommysavers.com for over eleven years.  In internet years, that’s a LONG time!   I launched my site in March 2000 when I was on maternity leave after having my first child.  Money was tight, and I looked to the internet for advice and support as a new mom and a new single-income family.  I found that I wasn’t alone, and Mommysavers became my refuge and support system as well as my at-home project. 

I started the site by writing about my own money-saving techniques and sharing the deals I had found.   Others responded to what I was writing, which is how the discussion forums came about.  I wanted to create a place on the site to give others a voice as well.  Today, Mommysavers has an active community with over 70,000 registered members.  Moms get together to share deals, money-saving advice, and chat about family life.  Over the years there has been our share of online drama and fallout, but also lots of love and support.  I’m proud of the fact that so many of our members have become friends in “real life” – myself included.  I’ve met dozens of our members in person and become a personal friend to many.

Mommy Savers seeks to aid frugal moms in getting the best for their family despite a skimpy budget. Tools provided by the site in order to help mom save include coupons, budgeting tips, promotional codes and updates on bargains everywhere. A forum for like-minded bargain hunters hooks up moms in order to exchange information on sales and bargains that may have slipped the radar. They also talk about the latest online store bargains as well as tips on organizing and getting the word out on the next garage sale. I even noticed that some moms are trading things online to save money over this forum. Visit Website
