Our area doesn’t start school until after Labor Day. But for some, school has begun this week! Today I’ve listed many different stores that have affordable Back to School items this week of August 12 through August 18, 2018. The sales SHOULD continue through the beginning of September. Then whatever stock remains MAY go on clearance in some areas if they is extra stock. (I did not include CVS or RiteAid or any other store that I felt was still listing fairly “high prices” as sales.)
Here are the Affordable Back to School items for This Week!

Thanks for the list! I have frequented CVS in the past for school supplies, but have been very disappointed with their sales this year too.
I see some listings of school supplies show liquid glue. Remember, not allowed. Thanks!
Hi Marilyn. You are mentioning that liquid glue is not allowed for Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes. However, this blog does not promote any one specific ministry. I list items that would be great for many charities including local backpack programs, children at homeless shelters, Native American reservations, etc. Each has different rules and any individual donating to any ministry should check those out ahead of time.
