Back to School Deals, Shop Smart Not Hard!

There are so many great school supply deals all over town starting this week. I know I get so caught up in the hype I want to start running from store to store scooping up all those pencils, notebooks, etc. But, just as important as saving money is saving time. Gather your sale flyers from these stores and carry them to the store that matches others ads. Target! Ahh, you'll be glad you did. :)

Restaurants reward your child for their good grades

■Blockbuster- One free movie rental

■Krispy Kreme- One doughnut per A, up to 6.

■Chuck E. Cheese- up to 15 tokens with a food purchase. They reward 3 per A, 2 per B, and 1 per C. (While they say this they normally just give 15 after glancing at it.)

■McDonald’s- If your child has straight A’s they can get a free meal. Kindergarten-5th grade receive a happy meal while 6th-12th will receive a value meal.

■Pizza Hut-For a report card that has 3 A’s they will reward your child with one personal pan pizza and a small drink or milk. This offer is only for K-8 and is dine-in only.

■Chick-Fil-A- Many stores have programs to reward children but they vary by store. Check with yours to see what it offers.

■Cold Stone Creamery- Free ice cream.

As always, check with your location to see if they are participating before you head out. I posted this on the wall in my schoolroom to get the kids excited about their hard work. It helped!
