Back to school shopping 101

Even though the sun is blazing, the grills are heated and the calendar still says its summer, school is right around the corner. Most of us have started stcokpiling pencils, crayolas, and will soon have enough ziploc bags in the pantry to cover every square inch of the house. But if you really want to save I say factor in a few extra dollars for clearance finds along the way. Summer clothes really can last your kids several months into the start of the school year, but while you have the kids picking backpacks and lunchtotes if you can snag a toy or two to put in the closet for an ineveitable birthday or Christmas need now you will thank yourself later. While looking around at the Sears Outlet today, I spotted this great deal below. Check out the tag, $75 coat for $15 brand new! Now obviously I am a big fan of used or previously owned kids clothes, at this price even the baby can have new.
