It's almost unbelievable that Back to School is already on the minds of Katy families. Just when some families are settling into a summer routine and enjoying the lazy days of summer, stores are beginning their Back to School sales.

For those Katy families hoping to save money on supplies, though, this is the time to shop. Even if you take one summer day and get your shopping done now, you'll be glad you did later. Not only will you save money, you will find items in stock, miss the long lines, and be able to enjoy the last days of summer having fun (instead of stressing).

Also, through August 16th, The Katy Family YMCA is collecting school supplies for Operation Backpack. Pick up a few extra supplies to help a family in need.

The next few weeks will be filled with stores competing for early Back to School Shoppers. Check stores' weekly ads before going.

This week's deals are excellent. Read about all of them here.

Walgreens- Their .09 cent sale is back! Don't miss this one... it doesn't get any better than this! (ONLY this week- 9/19/09-9/25/09)
CVS- They normally have 2 or 3 days sales (Sun-Mon/Tues). Check their flyer and get there early. Their "specials" go fast! You can read about this week's deals here.
Walmart- Great deals this week (9/19/09-9/25/09)!
Staples- 12 pack pencil top erasers are.05 (limit 2), 2-pocket folders are .50 (limit 2), 1/2 to 1 inch binders are .50 (limit 2)
Target- Elmer's Glue Sticks, Erasers, Pencil Sharpeners or Rulers are .20 each, Construction Paper (96-count), Crayola Colored Pencils (12-pack) are .88 each
Office Depot- Will price match and if you recycle printer ink cartridges there they will give you a $3 store credit.
*Wal-mart, Target and Office Depot will price match if you have the ad and the item is the same.

Keep in mind that many times children need supplies in the middle of the year to replenish supplies that have been consumed. Shopping now and storing them for later will save you money.

After you've taken care of your shopping, reward yourself. Do something nice for YOU because you deserve it.

Enjoy the rest of your summer!
