It seems to happen the same way every year, we wait until the last minute and then all of a sudden it's August and we're at at 2 a.m., fumbling around the aisles looking for glue sticks and trying to figure out which is the college ruled paper.
But not this year!

You probably know that Target carries school supplies, but did you know that they have coupons on their website, often for school supplies?

Grocery stores, like Jewel and Food 4 less, will surprise you with great deals on school supplies—that is—until it's right before back-to-school time when the prices increase again! And if you're thinking, "I'm only looking for a few things" or "my family doesn't need school supplies," then why not use your frugal finds for donation?
Speaking of donation...
SSFS is in need of Back-to-School Angels. Who says you have to spend a ton of money to give back?
