It’s nearly time to start thinking about back to school! But before you start back to school shopping, you will need to do a back to school stock take.

What is a back to school stock take?
A back to school stock take is where you go through a list of everything that your child needs for the upcoming school year, then check though all of their belongings to see what they already have. You will need to check which items still fit and are perfectly usable for the next year, which can be donated or sold and what you will need to buy.
What are the benefits of doing a back to school stock take?
Saving Money
Ultimately adding in a back to school stock take will save you money, because you will know exactly what you already have. This means that you won’t end up buying doubles of things that you don’t really need, thus saving money.
Decluttering
A back to school stock take is the perfect opportunity to sort out what no longer fits your children and sell, donate or recycle these items. This will mean less clutter in the long run.
Getting Organised
The back to school stock take when done as early as possible in the summer holidays helps you to be organised in plenty of time for back to school.
