Since July I have posted weekly school supply sales.  They have been incredible, with many items selling for less than half what they would during the rest of the year.  Those deals are coming to an end.  I’ve heard reports that stores like Walmart, Target and Big Lots are no longer restocking.  It’s time to grab the deals NOW! Once again Penny has added her expertise to finding some great savings. Here are the best Back to School bargains this week – August 13 – 19, 2017 from 14 different stores!

Best Back to School Bargains this week:

AMAZON

Here is a pack of 3 pretty fabric zippered pencil cases
Box of 96 pre-sharpened Ticonderoga Pencils. (8 packs of 12 each) I’ve been told by many teachers that this is the brand they prefer and often assign in class.  Consider donating a box to the class or another local school.
Best deal on pencil sharpeners.  1 pack of 72 sharpeners is a good deal, but 2 packs (144) is the BEST deal!
