Welcome CW2 Daybreak Viewers!

This morning we discussed school supplies and where and how to save money on them. As all parents know school supplies can end up costing a nice chunk of change. I wanted to compare prices at two major retailers, so I took a school supply list I found for a second grade class and also a seventh grade class and price compared the two at Walmart and Target.

The second grade list had 15 different items on it and the total at Target for those items was $22.15 and the total at Walmart was $21.82. The two stores were so close in price that I was surprised. Many of the items that almost all school kids need (glue sticks, markers, paper, and crayons) were the exact same price at both of the stores.

Now when it came to the seventh grade list of items, there was a bit more of a price difference. The seventh grade list had 15 different items on it too and the total at Target was $47.16 and Walmart came in at $35.80. Part of the bigger price difference was the selection of items available. My list asked for a ream of copy paper and Target only had a couple of options the least expensive being $4.29, while Walmart had a larger selection and the cost on the least expensive paper was $2.97. The same was true for calculators, on the list was a TI-30X calculator. Target only had a fancier version in stock and it was $13.29 while Walmart had the regular TI-30X and it was priced at $8.44.

Neither the second grade or seventh grade totals include backpacks, lunchboxes or anything besides what was listed on the supply list. Backpacks and lunchbox prices vary greatly from store to store. Targets least expensive backpacks started at $16 while Walmart had ones starting at $10. Lunchboxes at Target started at $5, while at Walmart they started at $3.48.

If you still have some time and can break your shopping trips up over the next few weeks, then you can take advantage of the great sales they have each week. This week crayons may be on sale and if you wait to pick up the markers until next week when they are on sale, you can save some money!

There were several items on the lists that regularly have coupons that you can use to save money. Items like Clorox wipes, Kleenex and even pens have recently had coupons available that could save you even more money than just picking them up on sale.

One of the biggest things you can do to save money on school supplies is price match. Both Target and Walmart have price matching policies where they will match competitors printed ads. The item has to be an identical item, meaning that if Office Max has their Office Max brand of paper on sale, you cannot price match since Walmart and Target won't carry the Office Max brand. If Office Max has Crayola Crayons on sale for $.25 a pack, you just need to bring the sale flyer with you to Target or Walmart and they will price match it for you! It is super easy to price match and is a great way to maximize the sales at each store, without having to run around to each store to get one great deal at each one!

It's the end of the month...

and that means you don't want to forget to print out any of the printable coupons you may be interested in using as they usually reset at the beginning of the month.

Target and other major retailers are starting their summer clearances. They start marking down summer items to sell them to make room for back to school and other items. This is a great time to stock on summer items like picnic gear, outdoor dining furniture, toys for water play and other fun summer items.

You can also keep your eyes open for summer clothing clearances where you can stock up on clothing for next summer at rock bottom prices. This is how I am able to dress my kids for less than I would spend shopping at thrift stores and get brand new clothes for them. I call it "shopping ahead" and it means buying items at the end of a season for the next year. I stock up on clothes for my kids each time these clearances roll around in the next size up and then have wardrobes for my kids at a fraction of the regular retail prices. Check out this post for more information about "shopping ahead".

Seventh Generation Diapers Review & Giveaway!

Woo hoo - don't you just love giveaways, I know I do! Let's start with my review first and then we'll get on to the giveaway.

Those of you that know me personally know that I am a cloth diapering momma. I love cloth diapers and use them as much as I can, but when we are traveling or when cloth diapers aren't the best option for my family, I do use disposable diapers. I recently used then new and improved Seventh Generation Free & Clear diapers on our new little one and was very happy with them. I LOVE that they are free of harsh chemicals (like cholorine processing, fragrances and latex) - my little ones have very sensitive skin and I've had problems in the past with disposable diapers irritating their skin. No such problems with these diapers!

They fit my kiddo well and contained all the messes, something I cannot say about many of the other disposable diapers I have previously tried! My babies tend to have explosions when they poop and these diapers held it all in, no extra laundry for me to do from diaper explosions was great.

I am very impressed with the performance of these diapers and even more impressed with what they didn't have - chemicals and all the other icky stuff that most of the disposable diapers have in them.

If you'd like to try some Seventh Generation baby products (diapers, wipes, or training pants) then head over here to print out a $2 coupon! After trying these diapers out, I know when I have the need for a disposable diaper in the future I'll be using Seventh Generation ones.

If you'd like to learn more about Seventh Generation diapers and other products, head over here to check them out and get more information!
