Well here is yet another installment of the Back to School comparison list for 8/14-8/20. I was nearly trampled to death at Target in the Back to School section this week so I know a lot of you are out shopping!
The deals are really slowing down now and I checked back to last year and it was August 26th that we started to see clearance sales. For the clearance sales you can expect it to be like after Christmas clearance sales- most items will go very fast and we won’t see a huge selection that hits 75% off.
So here is your list of store deals this week. It is always best to double check your local ad before you head out as some sales can be regional!
