Whens the best time to go back to school shopping?

Question by Lauren S: Whens the best time to go back to school shopping?
I’m trying to save as much money as possible while shopping for back to school supplies. When do the stores have the best sales? Are there any other money saving tips anyone can offer?

a month or a couple weeks before school starts because they are all discounted :) especially at Target

  1. Now. Everythings on sale and I already got my stuff cheap and ready to go:)

  2. At staples, about a month before school starts everything is really inexpensive. ( Folders for $ 0.50, Binders for $ 1.25 ect.) Basically, During all of September and some of the end of August, you will get some pretty good deals.

    P.S. Don’t be too late or all the good stuff will be gone!

  3. Around August for School Supplies.
    Crayola Crayons are like 5 packs for $ 1.00 at Wal-mart
    and Binders are low as 50cents!

    For Clothes its usually around August.

    Im Usually late for supplies and pretty okay for clothes!

    Answer mine please?

  4. Probably after the back-to-school rush. Unfortunately, most of the supplies are already gone. Try going to a store (I suggest a discount store, like WalMart or even a dollar store) that’s in an area where the schools start very early, so the sales are early too. Just an idea. Good luck!
