From her website, “The Back-to-School 2015 season has begun! Every week through Labor Day I will be looking for all the great school supply deals.  I have teamed up with other bloggers to create a price comparison chart for 40+ items at 8 national stores.

This chart is intended to help you decide when to BUY because it shows the lowest price we’ve seen so far this year, the lowest price we saw last year, and the lowest price for each item this week is highlighted in green.”
