Best of the Back To School deals!

Each week I’m going to do a huge back-to-school-deals post that includes many stores.  I figured this might be the easiest way to keep track of them.  So here are the best back-to-school deals I see this week.  Keep in mind – these are not ALL of the sales.  I’m just picking out the very best ones.

    Aw man! I went to Wags this morning for the BOGO notebooks and forget to get the $1 coupon!! Oh well…it was still a great deal. I paid 5.99 and got two notebooks I actually NEEDED for school and it’s still cheaper than elsewhere.

    Target also has a web coupon for $1 off the purchase of two multipack sharpie accent pens. So you could stack the two and make the highlighters an even better deal.

    @Amber, Thanks! I think I looked for it, but it looked like it had disappeared. Maybe I had already printed it. ;)

  5. Per the cashier today at OfficeMax, you do not have to own a business (or be a teacher) to sign up for MaxPerks. YAY!

    Hope your store/cashier lets you sign up! Good luck!
