With Charlie headed to preschool this year, we get to shop for his very first school supplies list. I already snagged a backpack a few weeks ago (debuting soon!), but I still had to get some things on his list. My typical shopping stop is the big W, but after attending a Kmart event {#KmartBTS}earlier this week (and seeing all the new products out for mom AND kids), I decided to head there to snag the supplies.
And I was not disappointed.
Apparently, neither was Charlie! I snagged all, but one thing off of his list (pack of one-color construction paper) and then perused the store a bit more. In doing so, I came across a clearance mother load. Spring and summer clothing was on clearance AND an additional 40% off!
Here’s what I walked away with:
2 folders (Hi, Lightning McQueen & Angry Birds!)
4 glue sticks
1 box of Kleenex
2 pump handsoaps
2 bottles of Elmer’s glue
9 (!!!) shirts
2 outfits
2 pairs of pajamas
1 pair of shorts
1 pair of swim trunks
Grand total? $35.00
And because I used my Shop Your Way rewards card, I received a $5 gift card to be used next week on a purchase. Walking away with a finished list AND clothes for next summer for the boys? I was borderline giddy.
Perhaps now I’ll have a little more time to practice my Sandra Lee impression…
I was under no obligation to post about Kmart, this event, or any of the goods they offer. I was literally ecstatic at stumbling over a clearance clothing discount and wanted to share that with all of you in case your Kmart has the same markdowns! Happy Shopping!
Awesome deal on all the supplies you got. I imagine that you were giddy. ;0
I love school supplies. I like to just walk through them and smell the new crayons. Crazy right?
I am having a First Day of School Photo Link Up and would love to have you.

Oh this just makes my day! There’s nothing better than the art of the deal! Well done.
Charlie’s face in that pic is priceless! …and by priceless I mean $35 worth 😉
Thanks all! And I LOVE deals too!
@Lindsay, isn’t he cute?! It’s like he’s saying, “Hey, Mom!” 🙂
Happy Monday!
