Surely we can reuse a lot of material from last year, but for everything we need to renew, we can save a few euros if we buy now. Advance purchases of school supplies to save VAT That will rise in September is an option that more and more families follow.
So from September 1, not only diapers will increase their price, as we have already mentioned the school material along with many other articles (in leisure, culture ...). A rise of no less than 4% to 21%, which will increase prices considerably.
In addition, the announcement of this increase came in the middle of July, with which the impact on the media and the ability of parents' associations to react has been minimal. Many cabbages that are in charge of buying the material for their students will have seen themselves without time and without possibilities of not spending more if they left this task for September.
Notebooks, folios, pencils, waxes, paints, folders ... are part of the material that children need every year at the beginning of school. Now, more than ever, the advice on how to save on going back to school comes in handy. And let's pray that the books, which have been exempt from the VAT increase, continue like this next year ...
Let's take advantage of everything that can be used, without falling into the desire for "fashion" brands, compare prices, make a list, ask friends or neighbors about books from previous courses ... Everything possible to save us a few euros, with and without a rise in VAT
Some businesses (not only selling school supplies) announce that they are going to keep the "pre-VAT prices" from September. But it is a practice that will not last long, so it is better not to wait until the last moment.
The Spanish families are the ones that receive less help from among the European ones, in addition many scholarships for schoolchildren are suppressed, they want to charge us for bringing tuppers with food to school ... what else is missing? Fear gives me see the next cuts ...
The last week of the month of August and especially the last days are the ones that are expected to be the most crowded at stationery stores or shopping centers. Therefore, if in addition to find the cheapest school supplies We want there to be no stress, it's a good idea to go as soon as possible.
