While we’re still enjoying the summer months, it’s also time to start preparing for the new school year. There will soon be a new list of back-to-school essentials, but that doesn’t mean you have to pay full price. Not when your Discounts platform – Care Professional Rewards, is around to help you save on uniforms, stationery and other supplies. Oh, and don’t forget to enjoy some me-time as well, you deserve it!
Many retailers also have their own promotions on, which often (depending on the retailer and type of promotion) means you can save twice by using our deals on top of that! So before you buy, make sure you get the best possible price by comparing deals and using your Discounts platform. Here are some of the most popular back-to-school categories you can save in:
Books & stationery
Is it just us, or is new stationery kind of exciting no matter how old you are? The feeling of cracking open a new notebook or using your new highlighters in a textbook for the first time…there’s just something about it! That’s why we’re convinced that going for stationery that sparks joy improves productivity! So for all your notebooks, planners, pens, sticky notes and more, go to WH Smith, John Lewis or B&M to start off the school year in the most organised way possible.
Of course the students in your life will have to do some reading this school year! Are there books that you can get from your nearest Waterstones already? Or you how about some extra reading material, maybe on a particular topic for school, or to support with a new hobby, or just to be read in their spare time? You can also use National Book Tokens that help you save at hundreds of independent bookshops. With your Care Professional Rewards discounts, you save on every book!
Uniform & clothes
School clothes are about more than just the uniform. Kids must be prepared for any kind of weather, so comfortable and high-quality shoes are a must. When the temperature dips again later this year, warm layers will be essential for those morning journeys too. And don’t forget waterproof jackets! You can save at M&S, JD Sports, Primark, H&M, Schuh, Clarks and more with our Discount and Cashback deals.
Tech
Tech is your best friend when it comes to staying on top of assignments and connecting with classmates. From laptops and tablets for research and assignments, to headphones for focused study sessions or smart accessories to stay on top of goals, students of any age can use our tech deals from Currys, Argos, Dell, Lenovo and more!
Study Space
We all need a dedicated space where we can focus and are free of distractions. You don’t need to have a massive office at home! Even by creating a little study corner in a room you can create a space that says ‘this is where we work and study’. Personalise the space with ergonomic chairs and desks, desk organisers, lamps, and some decor touches like plants, posters or vision board. Head over to your Discounts and check out Wilko, IKEA, B&Q and Dunelm deals.
Treat yourself!
Last but certainly not least, the start of the school year doesn’t have to be all work and no play. Especially for the parents who deserve a little me-time after the school holidays! Why not book yourself a well-deserved massage or treatment? Or enjoy a night out at the theatre or the movies? Or plan a day out to unwind with the entire family on the weekend? Whatever you’re in the mood for, we have hundreds of deals available via Wowcher, Groupon, Vue Cinemas, Virgin Experience Days and many more.
Happy back-to-school shopping with Care Professional Rewards!
