Mum of four and savvy shopper, Candice Tanna, highlights her advice for managing the Back To School shop; “As a family of four, we are always looking for ways to keep costs down, especially as 2024 will be our first year having to buy school items for all children with our youngest starting prep. 

My key advice for families would be to start shopping as soon as possible, even if it’s just buying a few items here and there in the lead up to school returning. This will help you spread the cost over multiple weeks. Buying key items in bulk such as socks and essential stationery items is also a big help especially for those with multiple children in school who can share the items. ”

Those looking for added value this Back To School can also get 10x Everyday Rewards points when they shop products from leading back to school brands such as Artline, Sistema, Logitech, Spirax, BIC, Post It, Cra Z Art, Spacetalk and Sharpie.

Customers can shop Back To School in store, online or via the BIG W app until 31 January 2024 with Home Delivery, Pick up and Direct to Boot available.
