If you didn't like the looks of the deals on the first two days of the tax-free weekend, you've got one last chance.

If you've got the stamina to keep shopping, today's sales circulars and coupon inserts offer up new deal potential.

As I mentioned in my post on the new school supplies deals, there are some rare coupons in today's inserts, giving us extra savings on items such as Avery and Five Star binders, Scotch brand products and Five Star notebooks.

Here are a few other deals in Sunday's paper that might entice you into the stores today for tax-free savings:

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:

• FREE deodorant at Rite Aid.
• FREE lotion, mouthwash, toothbrushes and crayons at Walgreens.
• Free toothpaste at Kroger.

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.

Today's N&O has 178 coupons with a face value of approximately $232, many with a definite back-to-school theme.

There are several coupons on school supplies, which have great savings potential.  Talk about perfect timing because you still have today to combine those coupon savings with the state tax holiday.

Here are some of the more unusual and high-value coupons:

As expected, the promotions for tax-free weekend are flooding in.

Today's N&O is full of advertisements and I also heard from local businesses hoping to entice customers over the tax holiday.

Lots of the deals are from retailers selling tax-free merchandise. Other deals are coming from merchants who don't sell tax-free items but want to compete for shoppers' dollars. And I don't blame them. In these tough times, shopkeepers can't afford an entire weekend without customers.

Some of the highlights:

The promotion started Monday and runs through Aug. 18 so purchases you make Friday, Saturday and Sunday during tax-free weekend will qualify.

The Super Cash is redeemable Aug. 25 through Aug. 29. For every $10 you redeem, you must spend $20.

What a week for buying school supplies.

The office supply stores are offering penny and nickel deals and the drugstores and grocery stores all have deals.  Even Toys R Us is getting in on the act with sales on Crayola products.

On top of that, North Carolina's sales tax holiday starts Friday so keep that in the back of your mind as you're studying the deals.
