Saving Money While Gearing Up for Kindergarten

This is a sponsored post on behalf of Straight Talk. All opinions are 100% mine. I am definitely going to be THAT mom on my son’s first day of Kindergarten. I will be a blubbering mess taking a million pictures of him taking his first step onto the school bus. Even though I know the day is coming it is hard to prepare myself. I do not know if I am more upset about him being gone, or the fact that he is so excited to leave me to go to school.Either way, I need to start accepting the fact that he is ready and excited. Do not get me wrong, I am thrilled for him to start on this new journey in life, but he was my first baby so this will be a huge change.In order to prepare myself I am taking a straightforward approach and making sure I know all the details about Kindergarten. Including his schedule, curriculum, pick-up and drop-off times, and every other important detail about the upcoming school year. This also includes being prepared with his school clothing and supplies. All of these expenses start to really add up, so it is important to try to save as much money as we can everyday. This includes cutting back on unnecessary spending and making smart decisions like taking advantage of Straight Talk’s nationwide coverage with no hidden fees, or contracts, for a low monthly price. They are straightforward and make my life easier.Plus, their unlimited plan includes unlimited talk, text, and data with the first 5GB of data at high speed (then reduced to 2G speed).* Every lit bit of savings helps us to put our money towards expenses like school.   With the money I save using Straight Talk Wireless I am able to get everything we need to get my son ready for Kindergarten. I am a very detail-oriented person and do not like surprises or feeling unprepared. Knowing that we are saving money each month on our cell phone plan is making this transition less stressful.Now, I can focus on preparing myself so that I do not completely embarrass my son. Disclaimer: *At 2G speed, the functionality of some data applications such as streaming video or audio may be affected.
