Target and Back to School

I have a great system for saving on back to school items like back packs and lunch boxes. I bet most of you frugal moms already know this, but I will tell you how I do it. Back to school always gets very expensive, and only two of my five are even in school. This is how I do it. Targets back to school items always go on clearance about 3 weeks after school starts, I don't purchase loads of pencils or glue at 30% off because I hate buying things and storing them unless they make a big difference on price. So I won't store glue sticks that saved me .06 cents. But if you wait until about 6-8 weeks after school starts, the back packs and lunch boxes go on 75% off. I have tried to use old lunch boxes but they start to reek and so I always end up getting them new ones. Which if I wait I can get for 2-3 dollars. I can also get the really nice back packs for 5-6 dollars. I save these for the next year and pull them out. The kids get new lunch boxes and back packs and I get so excited seeing the red price tag that reminds me how much less I paid than all the rest. I would love to hear how you save on back to school.
