>>TARIK MINOR: TIME FOR STRESS FREE SCHOOL SHOPPING BECAUSE SOME STUDENTS IN SOUTHEAST
GEORGIA HEAD BACK TO CLASS A
MATTER
OF DAYS WITH KIDS IN NORTHEAST,
FLORIDA, HEADING BACK IN A
MATTER OF WEEKS TO HELP SAVE
YOU TIME AND MONEY
AND SUPPLIES LAUREN DID THE
HARD WORK FOR US LAUREN WHAT
DID YOU
FIND OUT.
>>JOY PURDY: I FOUND OUT IF IT
IS A BETTER DEAL TO BUY PRE
PACKAGED BUNDLES ONLINE OR GRAB
YOUR LIS AND HEAD TO THE STORE.
BEING A PARENT IS
HARD ENOUGH, BUT ANY PARENT WOULD AGREE BACK TO SCHOOL SHOPPING AT THE NEW LEVEL
OF STRESS IN THE SEEING GOODMAN
AND THE SCHOOL SUPPLY AISLE OF
WAL-MART.
BUT BEFORE WE START THERE,
LET’S LOOK AT THE BUNDLES I HAD
ALREADY
BOUGHT ONLINE. I FOUND TO FIND
THOSE ON AMAZON ONE THAT HAD 32
PIECES DESIGNED FOR GRADES K
THROUGH 5 FOR
2999. IN THIS 51 P SET FOR
SECONDARY SCHOOL ESSENTIALS FOR
3799.
3799. >> WE GRABBED 3 DIFFERENT LIST FROM 3 DIFFERENT COUNTIES
YOU’VE GOT ARGYLE ELEMENTARY IN
CLAY COUNTY FLETCHER MIDDLE AND
DUVAL AND FRUIT COVE IN SAINT
JOHNS COUNTY.
>> THE GOAL. MY MISSION TO SEE
WHETHER IT WAS WORTH IT TO
BUNDLE AND SAVE TIME AND
POTENTIALLY MONEY BUT JUST OFF
THE BAT, THE BUNDLES IN HAVE
EVERY SINGLE ITEM ON EACH LIST.
WELL THE FOR FLETCHER WAS ONLY
MISSING 2 ITEMS, THE OTHER 2
LIST FOR MISSING SIGNIFICANTLY
MORE NOW TO THE HARD WORK
FAVORITE PART OF MY JOB, LET’S
GO SHOPPING. >> I PUT ON MY MOM HAD TO THE DAY GOT STARTED SHOPPING FOR MY
3 IMAGINARY CHILDREN, IT’S
TRICKY BECAUSE THEY GIVE YOU
ALL THESE COLORS, BUT THIS LIST
VERY SPECIFIC IN WHAT THEY
NEED. I QUICKLY LEARNED THIS
WAS NOT GOING TO BE EASY.
ALL RIGHT FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
YOU NEED TO 5 FOOT 6. WHY SO
ANY KRANZ BUT THESE ARE SO MUCH
CHEAPER DOES IT HAVE TO BE THIS
BRAND.
IT DOES REALLY THOUGHT
SHOPPING ON THE CLOCK WAS GOING
TO
BE FUN.
>> FOR CONVENIENCE ALONE I CAN
SEE BY KNOW CAN BE TEMPTING
WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT GOODMAN
SAYS SHE’S GOING TO END UP
DOING FOR MOST OF HER SUPPLIES.
BUT IS IT WORTH IT. LET’S
COMPARE THE NUMBERS, LET’S
START WITH OUR SECOND GRADE
STUDENT AT
ARGYLE ELEMENTARY. I PRICED
EVERY ITEM ON THE LIST AND WAS
ABLE TO BUY ALL THE SUPPLIES
WITHOUT A BACKPACK
FOR A GRAND TOTAL OF $21 IN 4
SETS AND DON’T FORGET WITH THE
SALES TAX HOLIDAY STARTING ON
SATURDAY. THAT’S THE FINAL
NUMBER COMPARED OF THE 2999 FOR
THE BUNDLE AND I STILL HAD TO
PICK UP 5 ITEMS FROM
THE STORE. NEXT WAS 6TH GRADE
AT FLETCHER MIDDLE ABOUT ALL
THE ITEMS TAX FREE WITHOUT A
BACKPACK FOR
2147 COMPARE THAT TO THE 3799
FOR THE BUNDLE. HOWEVER, THE
BUNDLE WAS ONLY
MISSING HEADPHONES FINALLY AN
8TH GRADE STUDENT AT FRUIT COVE
BY TOTO WAS WITHOUT A
BACKPACK, 3488 STILL CHEAPER
THAN THE AND I WOULD STILL NEED
TO PICK UP 7 ITEMS FROM THE
STORE.
>> SO IN
THE END MORE ON THE STORY BY IN
PERSON ENDED UP BEING CHEAPER
FOR ME, BUT BUYING THE BUNDLES
ONLINE WE’RE SUPER EASY LESS
STRESSFUL IT REALLY WAS TO
PLACE BUT SMALLER NECESSARILY
HAVE EVERY SINGLE ITEM
YOU NEED MAY HAVE TO BUY A
COUPLE THINGS SEPARATELY
DEPENDING ON YOUR LIST FOR ME
IT WAS HEADPHONES WE BOUGHT
THESE WHERE ARE THEY THEY ARE
RIGHT OVER HERE. I KNOW WE GET
THE CAMERA ABOUT THE EAST JUST 5 BUCKS SUPERCHEAP DON’T WORRY IN TARGET SET OF HEADPHONES IS
ONE ITEM THAT I WAS LOOKING AT
EVERY SINGLE BUNDLE DIDN’T FIND
THEM. BUT WAS ON EVERY SINGLE
LISTEN EVERY SINGLE COUNTY.
BY THE WAY REMEMBER YESTERDAY
OR IF YOU ARE WATCHING THE
PROMO I KEPT ASKING WHY DO YOU
NEED 5 KLOTEN CLUE. 6.
SO THERE’S A REASON WHY SOME
WONDERFUL TEACHERS OUT THERE
THEY MESSAGE ME AND SAID THEY
ASKED FOR MULTIPLE FLU, STICKS
OR
MULTIPLE ITEMS TO GIVE TO KIDS
WHO CAN’T AFFORD IT SO VERY
NICE AND THANK YOU FOR THE
TEACHERS OUT THERE WHO MESSAGE
ME AND TOLD ME THAT
KUZ A LITTLE SMILE, ESPECIALLY
KNOWING THAT WE’RE GETTING ALL
THESE AWAY ABSOLUTELY I MEAN
THE KIDS NEED EVERYTHING THEY
NEED TO GET THE.
>>TARIK MINOR: SCHOOL YOU’RE
GOING RIGHT SO LAUREN YOU
TALKED ABOUT IN DIFFERENT
NEWSCASTS THE FLORIDA SALES TAX
STARTING ON SATURDAY
WHAT ABOUT SHOPPERS ONLINE
TODAY GET THAT SALES TAX YES,
IF YOU WANT TO BUY THAT
BUNDLE ARTISTS.
>>JOY PURDY: DO SOMETHING
ONLINE THAT’S REALLY IMPORTANT
QUESTION SO I CHECKED WITH THE
STATE DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE AND
AS LONG AS A SELLER ONLINE
EXCEPT THE ORDER WITHIN THE
SALES TAX HOLIDAY WHICH GOES
FROM JULY 31ST THROUGH AUGUST
9TH AND AS LONG AS
ITEMS QUALIFY. THEY WILL BE TAX
FREE EVEN IF THEY SHIP AFTER
THE HOLIDAY IS OVER GOING TO
BREAK DOWN EXACTLY WHAT’S TAX
FREE AND
WHAT’S NOT THAT’S COMING UP
TONIGHT AT 6 BUT BEFORE THAT
TAKE A SECOND TO ENTER AND
WHEN ALL ALL THE SCHOOL
