Your children will be going back to school in just a few short weeks. It will be much more economical, and better for your budget, if you start shopping now. This way you can hit the sales as they happen, and avoid spending a ton of money in the days before school begins.

Kmart has a sale on children’s athletic shoes right now. Many Elementary schools require all students to have a pair of athletic shoes that they can safely run in, and that will only be worn when the child attends a physical education class. Kmart has shoes for boys and girls that range from $9.99 to $19.99.
Sears has backpacks on sale for up to 50% off the original price. The prices range from a little over $13.00 to just under $30.00.
If you shop from the Sears website, you can get $10.00 off a purchase of $50.00 or more of dockers school uniforms by using the coupon code 12DOCKERS10 at checkout. You can also get 15% off clothing, and 20% off shoes, if you use the coupon code BACK2SCHOOL at checkout. I don’t think you can combine those two deals.
