In that stretch, the first tip is to avoid fragmentation - or choose without interest and in a few installments. This is the guidance of Marco Quintarelli, retail consultant Azo Group "should be considered any percentage interest, even when the volume of items is impressive. The more fragmentation, more parents are stuck to that purchase. "
School materials used should not be a source of shame for those who want to circumvent spending this year. A hint of André Braz, economist at Fundação Getúlio Vargas (FGV), is simple: "Vale do a survey on the items the previous school year and see if erasers, pens, backpacks or cases may be released from the shopping list this year."
The store itself Kalunga facilitates this task between used and new products, offering a trading scheme. For every pound of used notebook, the store without heavy cover and spiral worth $ 1 on the purchase of new books and paper package Chamequinho A4 75G, with a hundred sheets.
And who was shopping had also done the 'homework'. The sanitarian Geandro Pinheiro, 43, took her daughter, Jade, 9, to buy books in the first week of the month in order to avoid salty prices. The lawyer Simone Majzelf account that also took in January to take his son Eduardo to complete the shopping list of school supplies.
Output to print books is negotiating with schools
According to the consultant retail Marco Quintarelli, Azo Group, is very complicated race against time to purchase textbooks. Who makes up the time, might have trouble finding them on the shelves - whether physical or on the web.
"You can search in bookstores virtual and physical, but when the books are too specific, like many colleges do, it is difficult to have access to publications," says the expert. He said schools can have good and organized outlet for that.
Quintarelli details: "They can make the sale of the books and, sometimes, may indicate buying at a publishing house that still has the titles."
The dialogue with educational institutions can mitigate the lack of a book only for the first few weeks of school. We must, however, keep an eye on the publishers.
When it comes to famous publications, please have the Virtual Bookshelf address as required to search. Through http://goo.gl/R8f7V link, you can find books separated by discipline and at half the price.
Web is an option, but is preferably store
Who is racing against time to buy school supplies items missing, virtual stores are a valid option. However, the suggestion Marco Quintarelli, retail consultant Azo Group, which is the 'delayed' get preferential access to physical stores.
The reason? Possible delays and stock shortages, common in electronic commerce. The expert explains: "The physical market ends up offering a variety of stock and a lot more volume into account for this type of product."
According to the consultant, you can actually find good prices on sales of online booksellers and stationers. However, before leaving firing clicks on the internet in search for complete list of school supplies, he warned: "Trust only big names to have security at the time of completing the purchase."
If you encounter complications, Quintarelli guides, the ideal is to organize a list, compare with the competition, 'legwork' and find good shopping.
lanejamento for 2014 should start now
With December and January being the hottest month for the purchase of school supplies, the consumer gets lost on the ideal time to find good prices. The solution, they point out, is that the second half is the best time to go to stores. Moreover, a monitoring throughout the year.
The formula says André Braz, an economist at the Getulio Vargas Foundation (FGV), is watching the prices since July. "The nominee is shopping early in the second half, preferably by November," he suggests.
For him, the discounts in February are much smaller than that period. According to the expert, it may happen next month a promotion or another, but it is unusual.
André Braz explains: "January and December are strong inflation for these items. Throughout the year, separate money for such purchases in the next semester. "
