Conquer the New School Year: Shop for Everything at CapeGate
Back-to-school season has a way of sneaking up on everyone. One minute you’re enjoying the last slow mornings of the holidays and the next you’re standing with a very serious school list wondering how on earth you’re going to get it all done in one day. The good news is that back-to-school shopping at CapeGate is far less stressful than it sounds.
CapeGate brings together trusted stationery stores, reliable school uniform shops and everyday retailers, so you can tick off your list without driving all over town. From notebooks and pens to lunchbox fillers and those all-important extras, everything lives under one roof.
Start with stationery and school supplies
Let’s talk about stationery first. This is usually where the list gets long and oddly specific. Blue pens, red pens, rulers, glue sticks, file covers and more. CapeGate has you covered with well-known stationery stores like PNA, Bargain Books and The Crazy Store, where you can get quality school supplies at prices that make sense.
These stores stock all the essentials and then some. Think calculators, folders, labels and fun extras that make the school day a little brighter. It’s also a great place to grab gadgets for students, like headphones or desk-friendly organisers that help keep homework time calm.
Uniforms, basics and everyday essentials
Uniform shopping can feel like a mission, especially when kids grow faster than expected. CapeGate’s school uniform shops and clothing retailers make it easy to get shirts, trousers, socks and sportswear all in one trip. PEP is a popular stop for affordable basics that last the term and still look good after many washes.
Snacks, lunches and household must-haves
No student essentials list is complete without food. CapeGate makes it easy to pop into Checkers or Pick n Pay for lunchbox snacks, juice boxes and after-school treats. You can stock up on healthy options and a few favourites that make mornings easier.
Grabbing groceries at the same time as stationery means one less stop and one less thing to remember. Your future self will thank you.
How to shop smarter and save time
A little planning goes a long way. Bring your list, group items by store and start with stationery, as it’s often the longest and most detailed part of the school list. Once that’s done, you’ll know exactly what’s left to tick off. CapeGate’s layout makes it simple to move from one store to the next without backtracking.
Shopping early in the day on the weekend, or during quieter weekdays, can also help you get in and out faster. The goal is to get everything you need and still have time and energy left to sit down and enjoy a meal at Capegate’s many restaurants.
