Money Saving Monday: Back to School Deals!

No, our boys aren't anywhere near school age but we'd like to pass on some useful info for all you Mamas out there who do have kids getting ready to go back to school (can you believe it is that time already?!)! Here are some great deals we've found that we'd like to pass along and we hope if you come across any other good deals you'll share them with us too!

Here is some additional info from WCPO.com:

• First stop: Office Depot: I found a big selection, and big deals like 150 sheets of filler paper for just $1.
• I then hit Target, where I found convenient layout and nice prices. Among them: 24 Crayola crayons for $.25, Mead one subject notebooks for $.50, and 1.5 inch binders for $2.50.
• Next stop , Meijer, which is featuring 34 different items for just $.99 each, from glue to pencils, scissors to folders.
• Then it was on to Walmart, which had some super lower prices. Among them: Mead 5 star notebooks -- the Cadillac of notebooks -- for $2, Elmers glue for $.25, and Very binders for $1.87. All, good brand name.
• My final stop was Staples, a school teacher's dream, with every supply you could think of. They featured some big markdowns on their in-house brands, like spiral notebooks for $.15. Name brand prices were somewhat higher that Walmart, Target, and Meijer.

So where to shop depends on what you are looking for...
Staples wins for biggest selection.
Office Depot was next best.
Walmart wins for lowest prices, though selections were a bit more limited.
Meijer was our best overall value, though like Walmart, not the biggest selection.
Target wins for the most pleasingly laid out back-to-school section, with some great deals.
