I have found that there is really NO need to rush and buy a whole bunch of new outfits for BTS time for my kiddos. Here in CT, it stays pretty mild till about the middle of Sept. So the REAL bts shopping can be done AFTER all the rush in July and August and the stores are busting at the seems. They always seem to have BETTER sales AFTER BTS time and they need to clear it all out.

If you MUST shop BTS, a great place to start are clearance racks. You can get some great outfits at terrific clearance prices that are usually perfect for school. Use store coupons as much as possible. Check out sites like couponcabin for printable coupons or codes to use online shopping. Lots of places do free shipping around this time. OR check Mommysavers Whats In Store to find out where the BEST deals are Brick and Mortar stores and the printable coupon list for coupons to shop with at them.
