School supplies have been sold out since the end of June/beginning of July. Is it better to buy it now or wait until the end of the month to take advantage of the best prices?
It is a “nightmare” vision for students. In the middle of summer, in the middle of the holiday, supermarket shelves are filled with double copies, 21 x 29.7 cm notebooks, covers, ballpoint pens or clear pockets.
If students don’t have a head at all at the start of the school year — scheduled for September 1 — parents might think about it a little more. Catalog promotions begin on Monday, August 8 at the majority of major retailers. With prices rising month by month, should we actually buy supplies or wait for promotions a few days before the school year starts?
All pupils had a list of major school supplies at the end of the school year, at the end of June. So buying supplies is already possible, which won’t stop you from making some extra purchases after the start of the school year.
Promotions now
“It is best to buy supplies at the latest by the end of the month,” recommends Olivier Duvers, a large distribution specialist, who interviewed Medidispatch. “Promotions for banner catalogs stop at the end of August. From September, supplies will cost more, that’s for sure. There will be no more promotions.” He adds: “Catalog prices have been negotiated for several months and do not always include inflation, especially for pulp. There is no point in waiting.”
