Save on Back to School Costs
A Co Kildare charity shop is selling school uniforms in perfect condition at knock down prices.
Gorta, Duke St, Athy, currently is stocking a wide range of school uniforms including Athy College, St Pat's Ballylinan, Community Educare, Scoil Mhuire Athy, Scoil Phádraig Naofa and many more.
Speaking to KildareNow Emma Bartley says that the uniforms are selling fast.
Gorta-Self Help Africa’s shops across Ireland are already stocked with goods that might help families to keep the costs down, as they shop for their school-going children over the coming weeks.
Making writing easier is the aim of the ergonomic Yoropen. A clever design with a kink at the base of its neck (to act as a finger support), the ambidextrous Yoropen alleviates writing strain, whilst allowing the author to clearly see each word as it appears on the page thanks to the unique 21° angled head. A perfect learning tool.

This revolutionary pen, which also comes in a pencil version, is a must for every scholar of any age, offering smudge-free writing and coming complete with an adjustable tripod grip for better positioning. Not simply a plenary learning instrument, the Yoropen is also perfectly suited to people suffering from arthritis, RSI, Parkinson’s, rheumatism and other ailments thanks to its unique structure. The pen was actually invented by a loving father for his daughters, who suffer from Cerebral Palsy.
Start shopping at home: Before you head to the store, see if you have any of the supplies at home. You might have a stack of unused notebooks, pencils or an extra glue stick at home.
Stick to the list: When your kids walk down the school supply aisles, they are likely to see items they want that aren't on the list. Before buying extra items that your kids want, first buy all of the necessities and see if you're on budget.
Avoid the designer, trendy items: Your child might be eying a designer backpack, or folders that are triple the cost of the normal paper folders. Before you start splurging, first buy the basics. You can also wait to buy the more expensive backpacks or pencil cases after school starts to see if they go on sale.
Take advantage of sales: Most large retail stores will have sales on back-to-school supplies. Take advantage of those discounts, and also watch for coupons.
