Back to school shopping season I here yet again. Today I am sharing my best Canadian mom advice to easy back to school shopping for all ages. Why? As a mom of one and sister to three younger siblings, I know that shopping for school can be overwhelming especially because you have so many things you need to get. Then you times that with ages, different grades and unique personal styles and you got to take a whole day to get this done. So, let’s release some stress and get our shopping on.
Backpacks
Depending on the age that you are looking for there are many great places to find backpacks. Our family usually starts off going to Walmart but sometimes their selection choice is slim due to high demand. Then we result in our second choice which is Bentleys. However this year we decided to skip the line altogether and get our backpacks from Amazon. Below are so trendy backpacks that should get your kids excited for school.

Lunch Containers
I don’t know about you but I am all about that reusable lifestyle. Instead of always using your throw away zip lock bags and invest in getting ones you can reuse over again. It’s not uncool to have these in fact schools encourage this for students. I know my school likes to send out reminders. I love it and think it saves you money in the long run not to mention our environment too.

Just like food containers, to have more of an eco-friendly lunch year they to aim to get reusable drink containers instead of boxes of juice boxes. This way all you have to do is pour juice or water into your drink container. As much as some like to think that getting juice boxes is better or cans of pop, it really doesn’t take much effort to pour juice or pop into a container the night before for quick grab in the morning.
