Things I’ve done this December to save money/cut costs on back to school for January:
- Sort through a shit load of stationery. It was worth it. Saved about R1500.
- Sort through 3 massive boxes of uniforms and sell on FB Marketplace. Made about R2500. Will cover new uniforms.

Still to do:
- Sort through stacks of old textbooks and sell on FB Marketplace. (Have already ordered for next year.)
- Top up on exercise books etc (which I will do as I do grocery shopping.)
- Wash lunch bags/pencil bags. I found LOADS. I’m not buying any more of these.

And then there’s the school consumables - boxes of tissues, paper towel, hand sanitiser - that I will with my next Clicks online shop.

But, I think I’m 70% ready for next year. Just gotta do uniforms next week. And then label everything.

Have sorted through all the textbooks and listed them on Facebook marketplace.

Hold thumbs that they sell.
