In my last Blog I promised to be back with online deals on Back to School Shopping. With the summer ending and the schools just about to open, I know most of you must be eager to finish that school supply list. On top of that, kids grow like wild flowers during the summer so I decided to find some online deals on clothing and shoes as well!
A lot of stores like Wal-Mart, Target and Kohl’s are offering deals in store and online. As I discussed in my last Blog, with time crunch, and gas price hike, shopping online has become my new obsession, so I logged on to my favorite website and found some good deals on clothing and school supplies.
First things first I started looking for deals on school supplies. A store that I had never even heard of Discount School Supply is offering 30% off retail price on almost everything. I found Dry Erase Crayola Markers for $4.99 and School Glue for $0.77 just to name a few. Now who cares for the store name if the deal is so good right?
With school supplies list out of my way, my next target was to find bargain prices on clothing. This I thought would be more time consuming. So with my legs stretched on the couch, the laptop on my lap, and a can of Soda on my side I went back to business…
Well when I said it will take a long time, I thought that with school opening soon, it will be hard to find any thing good online. I was so wrong! I did spend a lot time finding what I need, but not because there were no deals available, but because there were way too many for me to decide which one to go for!
With clothes, I like sticking to good brands. My mother’s theory on spending on clothes for children is, “Spend more and you will cry less, spend less and you will cry more…” Well Mom I have changed your words of wisdom to, “spend wisely on brands with good deals online and you won’t shed a tear!”
I started with my daughter’s favorite store, “Justice”, and was luck to find 40% off coupon code. Since my son needs school uniform, finding clothes for him does not take very long. I did find good deal on Sears for school uniform, as they were on 50% off with an additional 15% off with the coupon code I found, in addition to that they were also offering $10 comeback cash (as they call it) on a $50 purchase. We picked and choose what we needed from there and headed to find shoes. Thankfully my son didn’t outgrow his school shoes from last year so we were done with his shopping quickly. My daughter insisted on getting new Crocs. Since her sneakers are still in good condition, and with the awesome deals I have found on other stuff, I had some money left in my budget to spare for that. I can never find Crocs on sale, but I still managed to find 25% off on what my daughter was looking for after using this coupon.
My rule for buying backpacks is getting a good one that you like and use it for two years. Since this was our year off for that, I didn’t really pay attention to the prices for backpacks this year. While browsing, I did come across good deals on books for college students. My kids are still in school but I couldn’t help noticing that Barne’s &Noble is offering up to 90% off used text books. Also if someone is looking for new computers this year, Circuit City is offering really good bargain!
