Back to school shopping is my most favorite time to shop all year. There is just something about the smell of crayons and notebooks down the aisle that reminds me of the excitement  in children's eyes of starting the new school year. When you head out with your school supply list in hand, you may not  enjoy the mayhem of it all but you will enjoy scoring all the great deals/prices that you only find at this time of year.

Prices change week to week and it's better to shop a few retailers if you are looking for the best deal.  Don't be surprised if  the item you are looking for is sold out... that happens. When teachers ask for specifc brands, they usually appreciate when you buy them. I made the mistake of buying the wrong glue sticks when my son was in kindergarten and the teacher asked me to return them.

I'll be reporting on back to school supplies and fashion all month long.. here are 2 segments from this week.
