Back to School Shopping

Back to School Shopping

Back to School shopping…  Some people embrace it for different reasons.  Other people dread running around to find all the different things needed to cover the supplies on the school list.  Me?  I LOVE back to school shopping.  By the way, I think Walmart must have made all these backpacks that are already filled for those who don’t like back to school shopping.  The backpacks looked like they had everything that might be on a school list. 

Back to School Pens

I don’t usually need a lot of things, but I like going up and down the aisles with all the new products.  I needed some highlighters, and I found several different types today.  I had a hard time choosing, but I can’t wait to try them out.  [Yes, I am a pen junkie…]

Back to School Notepads

Marvel Boy found these Minion notepads and just had to have them.  How cute are these?

Visit HERE —–> To See How Walmart Has Everything You Need For Back To School

Back to School Crayons

And look at all of these crayons?  There were more crayons and colored pencils on the other side of the aisle.  While we didn’t really need new crayons or colored pencils to use right now, I did pick up some colored pencils for our upcoming road trip and crayons to use for our Fish Extender gifts for our cruise.  Excuse me while I stock ahead for later…

Back to School Backpacks

Need a backpack or two?  There was quite a variety.  I’m sure that most kids would be able to find a good backpack in this aisle.

Back to School Kleenex

But, back to school shopping isn’t just about school supplies…  Right now, Marvel Boy has a cold, and his nose is running.  He can’t concentrate on his school work with his nose dripping, so part of our school shopping is making sure there is enough Kleenex on hand.  

Does your school collect Box Tops?  Box Tops are codes on certain products that are worth 10 cents a piece for your school.  Do you see the Box Top on the Kleenex package above?  

Back to School Double Box Tops

Right now, there are certain products at Walmart that have bonus Box Tops.  Want to see which items have the bonus Box Tops?  

Visit HERE —–> To Find More About Bonus Box Tops 

Whether you are heading to Walmart for crayons and paper or Kleenex, underwear, or socks; it can definitely be a ONE STOP shopping trip for almost anything you might need for your new school year!

Are you looking forward to back to school shopping?

    What a neat idea that walmart put the stuff in the clear backpacks for school supplies, most schools now require clear back packs and the convenience of having everything you need in the back pack is great, and I love the little ‘eye- pads” quite a play on the I pad and the kids who think they need one of them.. at young ages, think I will look for them when I hit my Walmart this weekend. thank you for sharing this information and I have bought many of pens and if I did not like them gave them away, I am very particular, to the ones Ilike

    I am not looking forward to back to school shopping haha maybe clothes wise for my son, but that is about it. I hate looking at the list of things they need for school when I was younger I never needed to bring in stuff now this system is just different now which stinks. Schools should provide all that glue sticks, pencils, markers, etc. in my opinion anyways.

    I will say its never boring, but no one can ever agree on what they can and can’t get. I’ve learned it helps to get the help of other family members to help, because the kids are less likely to act out when they are with us.

    I quit doing any back to school shopping when 90% of the time the teachers provided what they wanted the children to use or didn’t allow the items purchased to be used. Now I wait until open house and only purchase what is needed.

    My son isn’t old enough for school yet, so I usually wait for the markdowns of school supplies to grab extra folders, paper, pens (love pens!) and crayons (he loves to color). But I’m anticipating when I’ll be able to start school shopping for him. I love school/office supplies so I always get excited during this time of year because of the section, lol.
