We went today to buy their school supplies at Target. Hardly anyone in the store. They have a coupon buy 25.00 and get 5.00 off school supplies. It was alot cheaper buying It ourselves than the premade pack. If i was buying big ticket item i would venture out. It was so nice not getting bumped into left and right. We took our time Shopping. First time it wasnt stressfull. 4951

@soxs mom:  Me too!  There is nothing in any of those stores that I need bad enough to fight the crowds.  8% or 8.25% is just not worth it to me. My sanity is worth much more.

@lilmama09: You'll- but a back to school drink will help Emoticon I used to tell my kids that us SAHM would drink margaritas the first day of school. We didn't really- but it added to the "mystic" of what we Moms "did all day"
