School supplies differ each school year, but buying them always involves time and money, in a management approach that is becoming increasingly more thoughtful for families.
According to the article, 97% of Portuguese families reuse school supplies.
The main reason cited for this practice is to save money, as indicated by the headline of the news story: "It's so we don't spend so much money".
This trend reflects a more conscious and cautious approach by families in preparing for the school year.
