Wisconsin Saves Fun Tip: Prepare For Back to School, CLOTHING SWAP Week 3


OST Design large sealThe Wisconsin Office of the State Treasurer proudly teams up with WWBIC (Wisconsin’s WomensWWBIC Business Initiative Corporation) for “Wisconsin Saves Fun Tip.”

The entire month of August, we are committed to helping you PREPARE FOR BACK TO SCHOOL AND SAVE!

this week, it’s all about Back to School Clothing: 

  • Back to school clothing is the most expensive purchase of the school year.  Try taking the concept of a holiday cookie swap to the next level.  If you have a mom’s group in your area, organize a clothing swap!  The rule could be that you bring four items to swap and leave with four items.  If you don’t have a group, try creating a Facebook group for moms at your child’s school – your savings could be year round!
