The report raised the prices charged in newsagents and bookstores River in the first week of the year and adopted a set of simple and affordable to reduce the final spending practices . If the collective buying group does not have a teacher among those responsible , the solution is to look for each publisher to negotiate the discount .

Teach your child to buy only what you need and not waste , "he said , adding that the father should know with the school management which spreads the institution will in relation to teaching financial education .
