When It Pays to Wait on Back-to-School Shopping

The early bird doesn’t necessarily get the worm when it comes to #back-to-school #shopping, says Go Banking Rates. Plan on hitting the stores right before school starts, says consumer finance expert Austin Kilgore, to take advantage of retailers’ clearance prices. “It may sound counterintuitive, but sometimes there are supplies on the list that kids won’t need right off the bat,” he says. “If you can wait to purchase one of these, clearance sales usually begin right after school starts. And with so many different start dates, it pays to keep your eye out for these sales.” #BackToSchool #Inflation
