Ways to Save Time Back-to-Sports Shopping ~Giveaway

July 29, 2016 By Nedra McDaniel 19 Comments

 

Ways to Save Time Back-to-Sports Shopping

This post is sponsored by Vocalpoint and DICK’s Sporting Goods®.  All opinions are my own.

Back to School also means Back to Sports for our family. I’ll admit that I love our summer sports hiatus because summer flies by too fast as it is. My boys start school mid August and fall sports start practicing a few weeks before that. When practices begin before school starts, you have to be ready. I’ve got one in football and one playing fall baseball for the 1st time this year which will keep our family occupied for a while. I didn’t want to spend a ton of time shopping for sports equipment which made a trip to Dick’s Sporting Goods a convenient stop.

So what do you need to do before you shop to save time?

  • Get a list of equipment that you are responsible for from the coach
  • Check for online coupons
  • Bring your rewards card
  • See what still fits. You don’t want to discover that your child has outgrown their cleats, apparel, or equipment after you went shopping.
  • Check what the team colors are so that your apparel selections and shoes don’t clash.
  • Find out how many days a week you will be practicing and when the games are so that you can plug them into your calendar. Ideally, you will want to have your shopping done before the 1st practice so that your child is prepared.
  • Get a sports physical- Most teams require them and after the physical, you will find out if you need to purchase any additional items to assist with playing the sport. For example, you might discover that your child needs glasses made for sports or a brace for more support. Also, get the physical marked for any sports that you think your child might play to save time and money.
  • Condense your errands. The less stops the better because your time is valuable too.
  • Get advice and check out reviews from others about brands and equipment to use for the sport they are playing.
  • Set a budget and let your kids be a part of the selecting process. Give them a price range to choose from and watch them become savvy budget shoppers instantly because now they view it as their money. This also helps them prioritize and determine which items they want to spend more on.

When it comes to selecting items, I let my husband take the lead in guiding my kids because he all about sports, ALL the time. Dick’s Sporting Goods is one of the few stores that my kids don’t complain about going to. If anything, my kids want to stay longer because they start to sneak over to check out the shoes and athletic apparel for back to school clothes. In their world, comfort and athletic clothing is king.

A Unique Watch That Makes A Great Gift

I typically don’t wear watches but I’ve found a watch that I really enjoy wearing. I had previously gone YEARS without wearing a watch before I started wearing this one. I’ve found a watch that I not only LOVE to wear, but it always gets noticed each time that I wear it.
