Back to School already???

If you are like me, you might be wondering where the summer went already?!?! It seems like schools were JUST letting out for summer break, and now back-to-school signs are popping up in retail stores EVERYWHERE! Commercials are targeting BTS shoppers...how WILL we survive the madness that IS? Well, I personally love this time of year because there are SALES GALORE!!!

While it might be tempting to stock up on school supplies at ONE place, I urge you to think outside the box. Get the ads and start there. Who has what on sale? Usually one store will have ONE or maybe two great deals to draw shoppers in...once we are in the door, we realize, hmmm...so and so had this much cheaper...but how often do we get lazy and just start throwing it all in the cart? It's tempting, one stop shopping, right? Especially when we have KIDS with us!!!

I am doing the opposite this year. I will be going to each store to buy the deals. For example, this week Walgreen's has 10 ct. mechanical pencils for 39 cents! Walmart has great prices on Crayola: 30 cent crayons, 70 cent markers, oh and 15 cent spiral notebooks. I am buying a little at a time depending on what the best deals are. I will have the same amount of supplies, but will have spent less money in the end. What about YOU???
