BACK TO SCHOOL OFFICE SUPPLY STORE DEALS THRU AUG 13

Hard to believe that there is less than a week before most schools in our area begin! Are you ready for school to start for your kiddos?

Last weekend, in Missouri, was a TAX FREE Holiday weekend – which will be an event in other parts of the country. This means all clothing, computers, school supplies and more, can be purchased without paying taxes online and in stores. To learn more about Tax Free Holidays, you can read my current post here. 🙂

Now for this week’s Back to School deals, I thought I would split them up into three sections (like last week)…the first, being the Back to School Office Supply Store Deals (this post), the second being Drug Store Deals (ie: Walgreens, CVS & Rite Aid; click here to view this post) and the third post being general shopping stores (ie: Target, Walmart, Dollar General and more; click here to view this post). The best deals are ones that are FREE, so I am going to bold those and make them RED for you to easily see
