It’s hard to believe that many children are headed back to school today! For those of you who are doing last minute shopping, here are a list of stores offering discounts on school supplies this week – hopefully, it will help you plan your shopping trips more effectively! The prices aren’t quite as good as Tax Free Weekend – but, you’ll find some of the “bigger” ticket items (like backpacks) are on clearance this week.
