Back to School events

The approaching end of the summer season signals the time to start preparing for school. If you missed the 3-day school supply sales tax holiday that ran from August 2-4 in Virginia, there are still some local businesses where you can buy cheap school supplies in time for class. Maryland will also be having their tax free events from August 12-18.

Staples- is the most straight-forward; since desk supplies are what they specialize in, you’re sure to find what you need there, and they are currently running great sales on some of the most popular school items. There are over 15 Staples locations within 10 miles of Arlington.

Target- is where you can find some of the most colorful, fashionable school supplies, and the advantage of shopping here is that they also supply private school uniforms. You can print coupons for school supplies and back to school clothes directly from Target.com There are 6 locations in the Arlington area.

Wal-Mart- is generally where you will be able to find the most affordable supplies and clothes. Their website is great for back to school shopping, organized by grade and category, and you can even find checklists to make the process easier. This is a fantastic place to go especially if you are getting ready to send a kid off to college for the first time, since they have such a wide selection of basics for such low prices. There are three locations within 10 miles of Arlington.
