Back to School Shopping: Walmart Vs. Target

September 2, 2010 By Elizabeth

Image via CrunchBase I realize school has already started for a lot of your kids, but here in Michigan, school doesn't start until after Labor Day. I got an email about checking out the great prices on back-to-school supplies at Walmart, and since I've always bought school supplies at Target, I was curious to see what the differences were in price. Walmart offered to send me a gift card and a list of recommended school supplies so I could do some comparison shopping between the two. WALMART: I set off for Walmart with my list and the kids, and found the Back-to-School section right at the front of the store. There were multiple aisles filled with multiple blue cardboard boxes STUFFED with school supplies. We started at the top of the list and got shopping!

Take off the evil slip-on blistermakers and put on the slides. Which are attached to each other with a piece of white elastic string. Which you can't take off because you don't have scissors in your purse. Step Three Continued: So you have to WALK THROUGH THE STORE with your shoes ATTACHED.

Win a $25 Target GC & an amazing prize pack!

This giveaway is closed. Congratulations to the winner, comment #81- Amy's Bad Groove! I recently wrote about the Vaseline Clinical Therapy "Prescribe the Nation" campaign on MomReviews. I told my readers there about how I received Vaseline Clinical Therapy Lotion to try for myself, and how I immediately "prescribed" it to my husband for his super-dry skin, and how the results were outstanding. You may have already seen the TV commercials where you meet Petal Ruch, the woman from Kodiak Alaska who was the first person in her communityÂ to receive Vaseline Clinical Therapy Lotion.Â She then recommended it to her family and friends who shared it with their family and friends and so forth, eventually over 600 people in Kodiak, Alaska were using Vaseline Clinical Therapy Lotion. Not only do I think each of my Table for Five readers should immediately try Vaseline Clinical Therapy Lotion and start "prescribing" it to everyone they know, but I've also got a AMAZING prize pack … [Read more...]
