Back-To-School Sales

Are you ready to usher your kids into the new school year? Ready or not, school’s here in a blink of an eye. Still have some last minute back-to-school shopping to do?  You’re better off stopping by a brick-and-mortar store like Target and Office Depot than online shopping. You’ll get more for your money at the stores when it comes to school supplies at this time of year. Before you head out to the stores, check out the following list that I found at FrugalLivingNW.com. Thanks Angela! For more deals, refer to the individual store ads.
