Top 4 things to think about for back-to-school
Getting ready for the new school year can be quite a task. It involves more than just buying new clothes; it’s about setting the stage for a successful year through planning and organization, ensuring health and safety, and establishing routines.
To help you transition smoothly from vacation mode to a back-toschool mindset, here are the top four things to consider as you prepare for the upcoming academic year.
stock up on school supplies
Start shopping for school essentials such as stationery, lunch boxes and school bags as early as possible. This will give you time to snag those sweet deals and help you avoid the last-minute rush at stores.
get your eyes tested
Given that vision plays a crucial role in academic success, the Canadian Ophthalmological Society emphasizes the importance of ensuring good eye-health before getting back to school. Therefore, getting
your child’s eyes tested and taking necessary actions should be on every parent’s to-do list before school starts. Find resources and more information on eye health at seethepossibilities.ca.
do a thorough tech-check
In today’s digital age, technology and education go hand in hand. Therefore, ensuring that any required devices such as laptops and tablets are in good working order and updated with the latest software should be a priority before getting back to school. However, Dr. Vivian Hill, a Canadian pediatric ophthalmologist, urges kids to take precautions during digital/screen time use such as limiting nearscreen time (closer than 30 cm), following the 20/20/20 rule (for every
20 minutes that you spend on the screen, look at least 20 feet in the distance for at least 20 seconds) and committing to regular outdoor time like walking to school, or during recess and lunch breaks.
get back into the routine at least a week prior
Start adjusting bedtime and wake-up times at least a week before school begins. This helps ease the transition and ensures everyone is well-rested and ready for the first day. Establishing a consistent routine early can reduce stress and make the return to school smoother. By taking care of these essential tasks before the school year begins, you can set yourself and your family up for a successful and stress-free academic year ahead. ■
Given the cost of living challenges that many of us are facing in 2024, it seems like everyone is pinching pennies and stretching their dollars as far as they can. If you’re looking to save money on your daily essentials, here are some practical ways to embrace a more frugal lifestyle:
create a budget
If you aren’t budgeting already this is a necessary start. Track your monthly spending and get a sense of where exactly your money is going. This will give you a great view into your spending habits. Then review your expenses and make a goforward plan. Where can you reel in your spending on items that may escape your attention? For example, check your service contracts and see if you can bring your monthly costs down.
Unlock savings galore by diving into the world of coupons, discount codes and loyalty programs.
bulk buying
Do you have items you use regularly? Enjoy a lower cost per unit by stocking up on pantry staples and household items. Stocking up on items may have a larger upfront cost,
but if you’re able to buy them during sales you can save money in the long run.
memberships, discounts and coupons
Unlock savings galore by diving into the world of coupons, discount codes and loyalty programs. Many stores offer regular discounts for members. Be sure to keep an eye out for promotions and discount codes when shopping online and take advantage of retailers that offer price matching.
savvy shopper secrets
Before you buy be sure to compare prices. Check weekly flyers, price comparison websites or apps
that help you find the lowest prices and price match where possible.
bundling bonanza
From insurance to gym memberships, some companies offer discounts or promotional rates when you bundle multiple services together. When it comes to telecommunications providers, customers can save big by bundling their streaming services. As an example, customers with Koodo can save with “Happy Stack,” a bundle that includes cellphone, internet and streaming services rolled into one discounted price.
By incorporating these lifestyle tips you can take charge of your finances and embark on a journey towards a more financially secure future. ■

Fmoving to university/college residence or new home requires smart
organization & planning
or many university or community college students, a new school means a new place to live.
Moving away from home for the first time can be a stressful change. However, taking a few painless steps can make the transition to the new “home away from home” go more smoothly.
Moving children to their university or college of choice for the first time can leave parents and their student children physically and emotionally drained, if unprepared. It’s easy to get frustrated when faced with packing and condensing belongings which will ultimately have to fit in a small room shared by one to three other people.
Here are seven tips for parents and students to make the process easier:
don’t over-pack boxes
Remember, the heavier the item, the smaller the box.
Use original packaging for large electronics when possible – the safest way to transport electronics like a computer, TV, mini-fridge or a microwave is to use the original packaging. If it’s not available, wrap the electronics in anti-static bubble wrap.
try to condense
Go through the new student’s belongings before packing. Reduce the amount of items to move to start the school year clutter-free.
use the right supplies
Shop around for competitive prices on supplies. Avoid using old shopping bags, laundry baskets or topless boxes to transport belongings. Items can get tossed around during the move and if loose items fall out, people can get hurt. Also, beware of using grocery store boxes – they stored food and may carry bugs.
pack similar items together
Label the boxes so they are easily identified. This will help the student prioritize unpacking without making a huge mess.
start early
Don’t wait until the last minute to collect boxes and moving supplies. Start packing non-essential items immediately, such as seasonal clothing. Clearly label all boxes so unpacking is easy.
recycle
Buying reusable supplies like high-quality containers is good for parents’ wallets and for the environment. Most corrugated cardboard boxes can be easily folded and stored during the school year. Plastic storage bins with lids are also a good option. The containers parents buy this year can be reused and recycled throughout their student’s university career. ■
