Parents find budget relief with MR.D.I.Y.'s back-to-school deals

Parents in Indonesia are facing increased pressure to manage school supply budgets as the new academic year approaches. A global survey by KPMG indicates that parents expect school expenses to be higher than last year, prompting a need for smarter, more economical shopping habits.

MR.D.I.Y. Indonesia's "Back-To-School" program aims to alleviate this financial strain by offering discounts of up to 50% on a range of school essentials. This initiative is particularly welcomed by parents like Dita Widya from Bekasi, who manages the school needs of three children across different grades. She finds MR.D.I.Y.'s commitment to stable pricing a significant advantage, noting that the prices for her eldest child's supplies from last year remain the same for her younger child this year.

"MR.D.I.Y.'s commitment to maintaining prices is excellent," Dita shared. "The prices for the school supplies I bought for my eldest last year are still the same for my youngest this year. This makes budgeting easier and eliminates the fear of sudden price hikes at the checkout."

Beyond affordability, the store's one-stop shopping concept is praised for saving time. Suryani, 29, from Lampung, and Siti Khadijah, 45, from Medan, echo this sentiment, appreciating the convenience of finding all necessary items in one place. The article also lists five recommended school items: shoes and socks, notebooks, aesthetic stationery, art supplies, and school bags, emphasizing their importance and availability at MR.D.I.Y.
