Well, I went to Walgreen's and stocked up on the school sale items. I only bought the cheap items, like the .09 and .39 cent items. That's the key. Don't get caught buying all your school items at the same store, they may be higher on other things and don't take your kids! With the money you save from their basic supplies, you can then let them chose the new backpack.
Remember, most of us who have elementary age students need to buy boxes of kleenex too, they are .89 until July 25th. Scotch tape is .39, think of wrapping presents, Christmas is coming! You will want to grab an ad when you walk in the door, because not everything is marked on the shelves with the sale price. We have plenty of time before school starts, so only buy the cheap stuff and then buy the rest on sale also.

Here is the link to their flyer. Not any great deals this week. Although if you like to chop food, I would suggest checking out their food chopper for $4.99, great price!
Fareway's new circular doesn't come out until Wednesday or Thursday. But there are some current deals worth shopping for.

Strawberries are great this time of the year. At .99 lb, stock up. Wash them, lay them on a cookie sheet to freeze, then bag, they are great for smoothies.
