Are you determined to not spent $100 a child on back to school supplies for each child this year? Are you not satisfied with the quality of the prepackaged school supplies you can buy from the schools? I am here to help you this year buy ALL your kids school supplies this year for $20 a child or less!

The sure fire way to spend $100 a child: Buy all your school supplies the day or few days before school starts. Frantically run from store to store and find they are all sold out and start buying just whatever you can find at that point.

How to spend $20 or less on school supplies – Walmart Back to School Deals

• Print the Back To School Supply List
• Get your kids school supply lists
• Add the items into the spreadsheet (one sheet for ALL your kids)
• Watch the sales for the next 5-6 weeks
• If it is less then Walmarts price at any store, buy it.
• If it is the same as Walmarts price wait a few weeks and see if it goes lower anywhere
• About a week before your school starts, the things you are still missing, buy them at Walmart
• Cross off items as you get them, so you are not overbuying

One other you can do? Go through their school supplies that they brought home from school in May and see what they can reuse. My wife keeps a Rubbermaid bucket that on the last day of school all the supplies they bring home go right into the bucket for the next year. It is full of rulers, unused folders, pencils, erasers and markers. We always go through this box to see what we have for the school supply list first, then see what we need new.
