Main sales of the year

If you can buy something long before the start of the school year, do it and be sure to check out the stores for major sales. Of course, the same “Black Friday” or New Year’s sale is very far from the start of the new school year, but discounts, for example, on the office in the same “Labyrinth” or Book24 at that time can be very significant. In the same way, do not refuse stylish clothes and accessories at significantly reduced prices (up to 80-90% for some models in stores such as Lamoda) - unless you need to take into account your child’s age, as students grow up quickly enough, and in this case, clothes should be bought a little for growth. Not sure - do not buy, but do not miss the opportunity to take, say, a fashionable backpack many times cheaper than it usually costs. The only difficulties that may arise are school textbooks, since teachers are unlikely to decide on teaching aids for next year in November and even in January, so textbooks, of course, should be taken in the summer. But a student can buy a useful book in advance.

Sales before the new school year

To increase sales, almost any store arranges thematic sales before certain holidays, and Knowledge Day is no exception. So take advantage of special offers and save on preparing for school twenty percent, or even more in the summer. Interestingly, sales before the new school year are even carried out by electronics and gadget stores. You don’t have to go far for examples: “Svyaznoy”, “Citylink”, “MTS” - in these online stores you can find summer, albeit not too large, but still pleasant discounts on useful gadgets for study. Also in the summer there will certainly be discounts on school uniforms, bags and backpacks, stationery and, of course, textbooks, so do not miss the start of the action. Want to save even more? Use promotional codes!

Where can I find promotional codes?

A few years ago, promotional codes were issued to customers exclusively by stores and, as a rule, “for good behavior”, that is, regular customers. Today the situation has changed, because coupon services that specifically collect all the available discount codes from various online stores came to the aid of customers. For example, one of these services is the Picodi website, where you can also find exclusive promotional codes. What it is? For example, in the Read-Gorod store mentioned above, promotional codes are issued to regular customers, however, at Picody, you can also take advantage of the additional discount on the exclusive promotional code offered by the store to all users of the coupon service. What else is convenient for such services? Suppose you want to know about all the discounts and promotions of M.Video - you must agree that it’s not very convenient to climb the store’s website to find them! And on such a portal, all these promotions are grouped in one place - on the store page, that is, coupon services are also discount aggregators.

What else can you save?

Of course, the biggest discounts are offered at special sales (dedicated to any holidays, special days or seasonal), and additional ones - using promotional codes, which can be called differently: discount code, coupon, promotional code, etc.However, do not neglect other opportunities. So, in most online stores you will be offered a discount on your first order in exchange for a newsletter subscription. Agree, it’s not at all necessary to indicate your main e-mail for this, and you can save up to 10-15%! You can also save some amount on delivery, while the minimum amount for arranging free delivery to your home or to the pick-up point is often far from “draconian”, and it makes sense to reach out to this “normative”. Well, for those who like to save money, we suggest reading the next and last chapter of our small guide.

China? China!

Is China cheap and bad? Forget about it! In terms of quality, most of the goods from the Middle Kingdom have not been inferior to European and American for a long time, so feel free to go to the “Mecca” of Chinese trade - to the AliExpress online site. Aliexpress, in fact, is a huge shopping complex, only virtual, where many thousands of sellers place their goods. It is on “Ali” that you can most advantageously buy clothes, a bag or a backpack and stationery for the school, but it is important to choose the right seller. In principle, it’s not difficult - just check out the rating system on the site, and an additional discount on Aliexpress will be given to you by special coupons that the service gives out for various actions on the site. The last moment is delivery. We warn you right away: it can be long (up to several months), so it is better to plan purchases in this store in advance.
