Walmart Dress Your Student Challenge

Yeah, so I exceeded my budget just a tad, but my oldest boys are thrilled at the additions to their back-to-school wardrobe! We don’t have hand-me-downs since they’ve worn the same size for as long as I can remember (they’re 12 months apart), so I’m thrilled at how these savings have stretched our clothing budget.

    No Lie – My best back-to-school savings strategy has been checking in with this blog. I have saved tons at Old Navy! I have not had to purchase any school supplies thanks to all the alerts about CVS freebies. WooHoo!

  2. kim

    I would have to agree! The ultimate strategy for me is to shop the clearance sales at all the stores. I maximize my savings and get so much more.

  3. carolyn

    This site is the best!!! I have saved a lot since finding this site and a walmart gift card would make it even better!

  4. Ashley

    We do a lot of bargain hunting especially at thrift stores they always have already out together outfits all picked out

    I only buy items that are on sale and that I am able to save additionally with a coupon. The information I receive from this site definitely helps me in my quest for the ultimate savings.

    My best back to school tip would be to check garage sales all summer long. I start checking right when garage sale season starts. People usual are eager to get rid of winter and fall clothing in the summer. Very often I am able to purchase clothing that still have the tags on them at these garage sales. It has gotten us through a lot of hard times with my 4 boys.

  12. Kristin

    I try to buy everything on sale/clearance. I use coupons and this site.
    For my son’s lunch box I’ll buy the reuseable containers for juice and sandwiches, etc.

    After spending tons of money on school supplies this year I decided to only buy about half of the supplies that my children are required from there school. I am then going to wait until school supplies are on clearance to purchase the rest of them. I figure that my kids wont need to have all of their supplies at the start of school and I am going to see if I can’t snag the rest on clearance. I am also going to look out for stuff to stock up on now for next year. Also this may seem like a no brainer but seriously sending your child with a homemade lunch for school saves tons of money. I make my own bread (my son is addicted to peanut butter and jelly) and I can always sneak in a couple of healthy things like carrots, apples ect. (school lunch always seems so unhealthy to me). Having my son take his lunch on average only costs about .25-.50 compared to school lunch which is 1.35 per meal where I live.

    I always check the web for printable coupons for major retailers to use in combination with markdowns . Thanks to your site I haven’t had to pay for much of reg school supplies!

    My favorite way to save is by buying clearance at the end of every season. I never pay full price for kids clothes by always cruising the clearance racks.

  24. Leigh

    Oh, still trying to figure out how to save money when the kids go back to school. But this year my vow is to pack my own snacks in reusable containers instead of buying prepackaged things. Not novel, I know, but something I am going to try and stick with.

    My best savings strategy is to only buy clothes that are on sale. A lot of stores are having huge sales lately, so there’s no reason to spend too much on clothes. Also, for school supplies I think the best places to shop are wal-mart and the dollar store. The dollar store has lots of school supplies there, they might not be as fancy, but who needs a fancy notebook? If they don’t have it there then you can’t beat the deals at wal-mart!

    I go to the stores at the ends of seasons and pick up next years clothes. I also have totes of my oldest daughter’s clothes packed away for my youngest.
