A colleague bought the backpack for their kid back in January (classes start in September). Totally makes sense that there's probably the best selection and prices right now, but still had me thinking, wait, you don't procrastinate that until the last month before school starts?

I do the same with things not school related. Like, if I ever need a new coat, I wait until spring, when all the winter clothing is on sale.

I try to do that, but I'm often too earliy, before things are put on sale, or too late, when things have already sold out. 🫠
