Grocery Sales Week of July 13, 2009

Seems that we're just in the swing of things for summer and now back-to-school savings are starting.  Check out your school supply lists and make a list of things you need.  If you wait until late August when school starts, you're more likely to be paying more money and not find the selection you want.  If you have a couple of extra bucks, pick up some extras for your local food bank.  Most of them collect school supplies for kids they serve.  No donation is too small. 

Each week through the beginning of school I'll add the great deals I see on school supplies.  Most of the great deals will be for basic supplies. Not all supplies for each store will be listed.  I'll stick to the basic supply list, or items that are a great deal possibly worthy of a splurge.
