Top Back to School Deals For Your Tax Free Weekend

Many states have a tax free weekend starting today and running through Sunday.  If you are in one of these areas, then take advantage of the savings and grab the deals you need now.

On a personal note, I want to also encourage you to think about other ways you can use these supplies.  For us this is prime time to stock up o crayons, pencils scissors etc. for our Operation Christmas Child boxes.  If you’ve never packed a box, then grab some of the cheap deals now and then grab other deals on toothpaste, soap, and fun kids small toys and you’ve got an in-expensive way to bless kids in 3rd world countries.  For more ideas check out a video I did on how to pack a shoebox on a budget.

To help you save even more here’s a list of all the top deals this week.  I’ll post another list like this on Monday for next week.
