Recently I started shopping the stores, beyond the groceries, after taking a break. I have to admit I a little tired from clipping and watching the sales so after a much needed break I decided to jump back into the game, only this time I am working on replenishing our little stock and help out others at the same time. Each week I hope to show you what I saved on and what I was able to donate. This week I went to Rite Aid, Staples, Target, Toys R Us and Walgreens and scored big!

The $25 Back-To-School Challenge:
I am lucky to live in a town that does not require parents to purchase supplies before school starts, at least for Kindergarten, so I am working on a $25 challenge where I purchase as much school supplies as I can, including the back packs, and donate all the items to the school or a program for children in need. My goal is to get as much as possible for as little as possible. So here are my results so far:
2 #2 Pencils
1 Slider Pencil Case
1 Zebra Pens 7pk
1 Glue Sticks 4pk
1 Pencil Sharpener
3 Comp Books
= $1.80
2 Papermate Pens 8pk
12 Five Star Portfolio Folders
= Free
4 Highlighters
1 3pk Glue Sticks
1 Pencil Sharpener
= Free
2 Backpacks
= $1.96
Total: $3.76
