This summer, many high school seniors are going away to college and are going to be away from their families. A commonly asked question in June and July, as kids and parents are thinking about what the next years is going to look like, is “where can we find the best dorm gear?” Everyone has a different opinion as to where to find the best, most inexpensive dorm furniture. For me, where I enjoy shopping and a place that typically has great deals catered towards college students is Target. Great alternatives if you don’t have access to a Target near you is Walmart, Kohls, and Macy’s.

With the economy in the shape it’s in with high inflation rates, most families have had to cut back on buying name-brand or full price items. The best way to go about buying school supplies and dorm necessities is to buy the generic brand. You’ll get the same product just for a cheaper price and a different name. The way your future college student handles their money will be imperative. Teach them now about credit card debt, how live within their means, and importance of budget while on limited income. It will only set them up for success when dealing with money as they transition into adulthood.
