When it’s time to start shopping for school supplies, finding the lowest prices can be hard. With so many back-to-school deals, it can be hard to tell if you’re REALLY getting the best price.
I compared Dollar General, Walmart, Target, Staples, and Office Depot’s back-to-school deals to find out who had the lowest price on a number of back to school items. All of these final prices do not take into account ANY coupons or special discounts (such as Target’s Redcard discount). Comparisons were done based on each retailer’s website.
