Thank you for the great responses to my earlier post about the best Back To School shopping deals. After reading, I headed to Staples, but thought things seemed a little high, so I headed over to Walgreens and completed part of my list. Later, I read a comment from Jen H. that the Staples deals were really good, so I must have missed them. I noticed at Walgreens that the sticker price often did not reflect the actual sale price, so keep your Sunday circulars with you when you shop!
If you haven’t started your back to school supply shopping yet, then you’re in luck because it seems many of the great deals start TODAY! Even if you don’t have school age children, this is a great time to buy crayons, paper, scissors, markers, etc. because the prices are SOOO good. Crayons also make great additions to birthday goodie bags, so stock up now. And with prices this low, it’s a great opportunity to buy extra so you have them when the teacher sends a note home saying that they’re out of crayons and need more and/or donate them to the “Drive for School Supplies.” Here’s just a few of the weekly deals.
