"  With the start of a new school year just around the corner, back to school shopping is in full swing. Whether you&amp;#039;re shopping for your kids returning to school or some pre-fall essentials for yourself, we&amp;#039;ve got you covered at GHRI. From backpacks, to back to school clothing, to sneakers, you can read our product reviews to find which items will last throughout the school year. But not only do you want to buy quality products, you don&amp;#039;t want to spend more than you need to. Here are 5 tips to make sure you&amp;#039;re finding the best deals on all of your must-have items. 1) Shop at Stores that Price Match When you&amp;#039;re shopping for essentials like t-shirts, jeans, and underwear, check out the store&amp;#039;s price match policy. While all stores have different policies, many will offer the lowest price advertised by other stores. For instance, Target will match the price if you bring in an advertisement from a competitor showing the same product at a lower price. You can even get a price match adjustment made on a previous purchase if you bring the ad back to the store within a week. 2) Get Coupon Alerts on Your Phone The RetailMeNot app sends you coupon alerts while you&amp;#039;re out shopping, saving you the time you often spend searching for coupons. This app has location awareness so that when you&amp;#039;re shopping for your fall wardrobe inside a mall, you can enable the app from your smartphone to alert you of coupons at the mall stores. You can use the app to search for nearby malls that feature this technology; there are hundreds across the country. 3) Install an Add On to Find the Lowest Price PriceBlink.com is a browser add-on that you install onto your computer. When you shop online, it automatically alerts you of any coupons for the website you&amp;#039;re visiting. Even better - if you&amp;#039;re looking at a specific item, it&amp;#039;ll let you know if another website is selling the same item for less. When picking out backpacks and other items that are sold at various retailers, it takes the guesswork out of finding the lowest price. 4) Get Paid to Shop Ebates.com offers cash back just for shopping. You can browse its site for participating online retailers and find out the percentage of cash back you&amp;#039;ll get from each. Whether you need school supplies or clothing, Ebates can put some of the expenses back in your pocket. 5) Buy What You Need Don&amp;#039;t get caught up in the &amp;#039;back to school&amp;#039; shopping mentality more than you need to. If you don&amp;#039;t need a full fall wardrobe just yet, hold off on buying. You don&amp;#039;t want to end up kicking yourself later if the coat you just bought goes on sale while it sits in your closet for the next 2 months.
