School Days, School Days, Dear Ol' Golden Rule Days

As some of you may know, school is starting ridiculously early this year. Some of our schools here in Tucson are starting August 1st! Here in Tanque Verde, we are starting August 7th. (ACES parents, click here to link to this year's school supply lists)

One of my favorite things is school supply shopping. I don't know what it is about all those freshly sharpened pencils and new crayons, but to me it feels like a new beginning. It always has, even when I was a kid opening up my brand new Lisa Frank Trapper Keeper for the first time.

I also like couponing and saving money. It's become both a hobby and a game for me. So, I thought I would combine the fun and post here for you my lovely readers, the best school supply deals I found in this week's paper.

And today (7/15) is the last day of JUSTICE's Buy One Get One Free sale. Justice carries a lot of fun non-traditional school items like backpacks and notebooks. In my opinion, they are overpriced and not very good quality, but I thought I would throw it out there anyway.

Please don't forget local needy children throughout your area. Add a few extra dollars into your budget and help where you can.
