The sales on school supplies are winding down but there are still a few worth mentioning this week, particularly the penny deals. Better to buy extra now than get stuck paying full price in January or February. That would never do!
Here are the top deals for the week:
All three office-supply stores are offering penny deals this week in an effort to get you in their doors to spend what's left of your back-to-school budgets. Here's a store-by-store breakdown of the very best deals on supplies typically on students' lists.
The back-to-school sales remain in full swing this week with tons of deals on school supplies, including some penny deals. Read on for a store-by-store breakdown of the very best deals.
These are the best school supplies deals for the entire week. But if you want to get them tax-free, you need to hit the stores today for the last day of the tax holiday.
Before you head out the door, don't forget to clip the coupons for school supplies in today's Sunday inserts. (These are pretty rare coupons that typically are released just once a year. My favorites are the coupons on Avery binders and Five Star products.) While you're doing your pre-shopping prep work, print those Post-it Note coupons I mentioned in the Friday's freebies post. Keep reading to see how you can score another freebie with those coupons at Target this week.
Here's a store-by-store breakdown:
There are some really great deals this week at the drugstores and Kroger. Some of the freebies I spotted:
There's also a hot deal on diapers at CVS where Pampers are just $3.99 after rewards and coupons. And, of course, there are tons of school supplies deals.
Read on for all the deals that jumped out at me. Please leave me your comments on the bargains you discover on your shopping rounds.

It's a fantastic week for deals at the drugstores with plenty of freebies and bargain-priced items. There's free chocolate, a free razor and 49-cent specialty toothpaste at CVS. At Rite Aid, there's bargain-priced Pampers, free toothbrushes and cheap Dawn dish liquid. Walgreens has got seven freebies, including free Crayola Washable Markers and Goody hair clips. I'd go early because they will sell out.
At Kroger, rotisserie chickens are just $3.99 each, a fantasic deal. And that doesn't even count the money you'll save by keeping your oven turned off in this heat.
Kroger also has the best price I could find on milk: $1.66 for a half-gallon or $3.32 a gallon.
Read on for all the deals and give me a shout if you found a good deal I missed.
Who can resist a 1-cent sale? That's what the back-to-school retailers are hoping.
It makes for smart marketing, but not necessarily smart shopping. So be careful out there and read the fine print.
Here are my favorite school-supplies deals for the week with the fine print in bold to help you out:
Each of the drugstores has some excellent deals this week, including free pens and toothbrushes, along with cheap toothpaste, feminine products and hand soap. But Walgreens probably has the best deals among the drugstores this week, with free Irish Spring deodorant, free hair Scuncis and free tampons, along with bargain M&Ms and 39-cent Sharpie markers.
At Kroger this week, there's a terrific deal on General Mills cereal that gives you $6 off your order instantly when you buy four boxes. Match that with coupons and you get yourself some Cheerios for as low as 49 cents a box.
Kroger also has a 10 for $10 sale that includes store-brand pasta sauce, Crest, frozen veggies and many other items. After coupons, the Softsoap hand soap ends up being just 30 cents. (And remember, you don't have to buy 10 items to get the deal!)
Read on for all the deals. And as always, please post the bargains you find.
