Jemima from Jumia

Dear Enoch,

Do you remember how exciting back-to-school shopping used to be? New bag, fresh socks, new shoes, new flask too if that was your thing. In my house, we used to submit our list of needs to our parents at the end of every 3rd term so that by the next session, we would resume fresh.

Meanwhile, our parents were probably somewhere calculating how and why we needed that many things every session. Nothing really concerned me with what it cost sha 😂 I just knew my water bottle had to match my lunch box. Good times!

Fast forward to today, I just finished helping my aunt collate a back-to-school list for her twins and omo, parents are trying o because things are very expensive. Especially children's things.

🎒 Jemima's Pro Tip:
The best time to do back-to-school shopping is NOW that they are still on holidays because once school resumes, it might be a struggle. The best part? You can get all the essentials on Jumia at discounted rates this week!

But Jemima, what if I don’t have children? You have siblings, friends, colleagues, and neighbours that can really use this information so share the gist with them because over here, we don’t gatekeep.

Till next time, happy shopping!

Love,
