7 Tips for Maximising Your Back to School Voucher and Getting the Most Value for Your Money

With the Back to School voucher program providing families with $150 worth of vouchers per child, it's essential to make the most of this opportunity and get the most value for your money. In this blog post, we could share some tips on how families can maximise the use of their vouchers and make smart purchasing decisions when it comes to school supplies. Here are some potential tips to include:

1. Make a list of the items you need and stick to it: To avoid overspending and ensure you get everything you need, make a list of the essential school supplies you need and use your vouchers to purchase those items only.
2. Look for deals and discounts: Keep an eye out for sales and discounts at retailers like us at Mega Thing that accept Back to School vouchers. By taking advantage of special offers, you can stretch your voucher dollars further.
3. Compare prices: Don't assume that the first store you visit will have the best prices. Shop around and compare prices to find the best deals on the items you need.
4. Buy in bulk: If you have multiple children, consider purchasing items like stationery in bulk to get more value for your money.
5. Opt for quality: While it can be tempting to choose the cheapest options available, investing in high-quality school supplies can save you money in the long run by avoiding the need for frequent replacements.
6. Shop early: To avoid the rush and ensure that you have access to the items you need, start shopping for school supplies early in the year.
7. Don't forget about secondhand options: Consider purchasing gently used items like textbooks or uniforms to save even more money on Back to School expenses.
