Going back to school usually means new books, supplies and computer software as well as tuition, furniture, and meals – all of which can really add up. We are glad to offer some money saving tips this summer to make sure you get the most for your dollars.
Establish a budget – and stick to it.
Credit should not be used to live beyond your means. Creating a budget may not sound like fun, but it is vital to staying out of debt. At Furniture XO, we offer financing options for all qualified shoppers. However, when shopping for furniture, consider items that would be practical first. Your 0% interest has a deadline of up to 12 months. If you plan accordingly and split your purchase into 12 monthly payments, you should have no problems with pesky credit card fees.
Be informed before you buy.
If you are buying furniture for your dorm room, it is recommended to measure your rooms and hallways and make sure your furniture can fit. Most furniture companies will charge you a restocking fee of up to 30% of your purchase total to cover their shipping costs.Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with our furniture ordering options.
Plan your shopping.
You should shop around for the best deals on anything you will need to purchase while at school. It is also a great practice to compile a “wishlist” for all the items that you may need to purchase and buy everything from one website at one time. Most online stores would be glad to offer some sort of discount for volume orders. When shopping at Furniture XO, you may qualify for many volume order discount programs, including our location based discount.
Be considerate of your roommate, and perhaps you can split the bill.
Dorm living can prove challenging, especially the living-with-strangers part. But take it from those who have gone before: there are stylish ways to divide the space without being divisive, and it doesn’t have to cost a lot. Consider shopping for furniture together. It may not only prove to be a rewarding bonding experience, but save you half the budget.
Look out for future Sales.
Furniture XO is working hard to bring you the lowest prices during this back to school season. However, there is absolutely no need to spend hours on finding bargains. We have created several price comprising tools to make sure our prices are always the lowest!
