Back to School Like a Boss

It happened yesterday. I looked at my children and had the startling revelation that they grew. I know, I know. Shocking how they keep doing that.

Then I realized that, with their growth spurts, they would have no appropriate clothing for Back to School in the fall. And then I remembered they need backpacks too. And what about school supplies? What does a first-grader even need for class?

I started to panic, a bit, wondering how I was going to fit all this shopping in. I mean, I have trouble making it to the grocery score, and we’ve been running dangerously low on toilet paper for a few days now. Tackling all this long list of back to school needs was going to be no joke.

Before I worked myself into a total breathe-into-paper-bag tizzy, I had a flash of genius: Walmart! This one-stop shop would be my saving grace. I could hit up my grocery shopping, snag all our Back to School needs and address that threatening toilet paper situation all in one fell swoop. I’ve shopped around a lot, but hands-down, Walmart wins with the lowest prices on the brands my family uses, so this would be the smartest move for our budget too.

Even cooler, some of my favorite paper product brands are now offering double Box Tops to celebrate the start of school. Sweet! No time like now stock up on my beloved Viva Vantage Paper Towels, Scott Extra Soft Bath Tissue, Scott Towels and Kleenex.

It’s no secret that I don’t love taking my children out on long errand runs, so this was a win for all of us. That nasty Back to School list? Checked off. They were pretty tickled to pick out some new duds (seriously, Walmart has really cute stuff–have you seen it??). And I even sneaked in a little of my grocery shopping–all while saving a ton of money.

And being able to turn in all these bonus Box Tops feels like a win to all of us! Go hop in the #BTSlikeaboss fun by scoring your all your shopping at Walmart and then sharing your story HERE.

You aren’t alone in feeling like Back to School shopping is a beast, but with Walmart, you can do it like a boss. Trust me, friends, you’ve got this!
