- I was out shopping for school supplies at Target and Walmart with my two teenagers.
- We live in Florida where school starts in mid-August, so there were a lot of special offers.
- Retailers had similar prices on supplies, but Target had some amazing clearance deals.
My family has been homeschooling their children for four years, but they grew up in public school, so back-to-school shopping is nothing new to us.
Although my kids only need their laptops for most school work these days, we stock up on essentials like notebooks, mechanical pencils, and three-ring binders at the beginning of each school year.
My kids are teenagers now, so we also buy them new backpacks and lunch boxes since they often do their schoolwork on the go.
Target and Walmart are usually our go-to places for supplies. The discount department stores tend to have a great selection and reasonable prices, so I was curious to see how they compared.
This is what our back-to-school shopping trips looked like at Target and Walmart.
