Check out all the back to school deals and where to get them below.

Walmart and Target will price match other stores prices, so if you don’t want to run all over town take all the ads to one place! Once again, all of these deals are pretty good so I just put acorns by the Free deals. Remember that Food City is running a Back to School Mega Event and the prices listed are after savings.

Enjoy!
