Back to School Shopping Guide

As we are enjoying our last month of summer, it's time to gear up for back to school! Here is our shopping guide for back to school sales.  Dollar Stores  There are some good deals here but also you have to watch out because a lot of similar items are going to be at Walmart for .98 cents vs. $1 at Dollar Tree. It's more about convenience shopping here, but I typically find better deals at big box stores.  Target Back to School at Target comes with some pretty good deals. Backpacks start at $14.99, lunchboxes start at $9.99, and s upplies are BOGO 25% off . You can save another 5% with a redcard, which is a bonus for school supplies that are typically all marked around the same at competitors. If you need to grab some back to school clothing, polos start at $5 and jeans are starting at $8 . The prices are low, but you can take advantage of Target's clothing promo for $5 off $25 or $10 off $40 by using code KIDS.  Walmart  Back to school at Walmart

Nordstrom 2018 Anniversary Sale Girls Picks

My daughter is now 5 and shopping for her has become a challenge. In the past I would buy what I thought was cute, but the past year it turns out we have different tastes. I shopped online last year for the Nordstrom Anniversay Sale , but I ended up returning most of the girls items as my daughter was not a fan. This year, I went with a new strategy of taking my daughter in store with me. (Which, I know what you are thinking, this could have gone either way, luckily she was into it. I did bribe her with chic-fil-a after though...I'm not above bribery for some good behavior, I know when to pick my battles!) We met up with a personal stylist (an awesome way to shop the sale, especially if you are short on time, or lugging a 5 year old around!) and we hit the kids sections first so my daughter could show us her picks.  Here is the haul of what caught the eye of my 5 year old.    Tucker & Tate Cat Hoodie // T ucker & Tate moto leggings (black and pink , sold out at

Amazon Prime Day 2018

Amazon Prime Day is one of the best sales each year for those that love all things Amazon. The sale is open only to Prime members, so if you have been thinking of joining, now is the time! You can sign up for a free 30 day trial as well that will get you through the sale, but I think once you have it, you will find it hard to  live without! Beyond access to this sale, members enjoy free 2 day shipping, Prime video (think Netflicks  competitor), Prime music, Prime reading, Prime photos, and so much more. The membership is a yearly fee, but you can cancel at any time. It’s been announced that the sale will launch on July 16 th at 3pm EST through July 17 th at 11:59 pm for 36  hours. Last year there were also daily deals in the days leading up to the sale as well to take advantage of!  No one knows for sure what products will be included, but it’s across the board in all categories, so there is  something for everyone. Of course, there is
