With the school year approaching, it's time to stock up on notebooks, writing utensils, backpacks, and clothes again. Maybe even a few odd items here and there too.
Some of the retailers that are offering 'Back-to-School' specials and discounts include CVS, Rite Aid, Dollar General, Office Depot (Offering school supplies at $1), Walmart (Free shipping on uniforms and supplies) and Staples (Buy Back to School Savings Pass for $10 and save 15% on school supplies/25-50% off latest backpacks) but the stores that stand out from a consumers point of view with the best deals around are the following:
Amazon (Up to 50% off school supplies/50 School Supplies under $5)
Target (Spend $75 and save 20%)
Kmart (Save up to 20% OFF with promo code:KMARTBTS2)
Also, hard to ignore 'good stuff' -the strange educational items that you might consider buying for your child to make their day - are worth taking a quick look at.
First, in terms of clothing Thinkgeek.com, back to school clothes shopping just got more interesting.
With the Electronic Rock Guitar Shirt, kids can interact with their clothes. Each button on the front of the shirt plays a musical chord, for the more musically inclined child. The shirt is machine washable. Consider getting this for the more creative child.
Second is the Boogie Board LCD Tablet which is a paperless LCD writing tablet that any child would find useful in their studies. Whether your child uses it for brainstorming ideas, expressing their artistic creativity, or working out math problems, this device will save you money on loose leaf paper.
Have you ever wanted a pencil that smelled like a waffle cone? Neither have I, but I would be lying if I wasn't facinated by Smencils. Packaged with 10 flavors, this unusual back to school gift engages more senses than your usual writing utensils.
Happy shopping.
