- I took my two teenage kids shopping for school supplies at Target and Walmart.
- We live in Florida and school starts mid-August so there were a lot of clearance sales.
- While supplies prices at retail stores were roughly the same, Target was having an amazing clearance sale.
My family has been homeschooling for the last four years, but my kids grew up attending public school, so I'm no stranger to back-to-school shopping.
Even though kids these days can do most of their schoolwork on a laptop, we still stock up on essentials like notebooks, mechanical pencils, and three-ring binders at the beginning of each school year.
My kids are teenagers now and often do their school work on the go, so I've also bought them new backpacks and lunch boxes.
Target and Walmart are our go-to places for regular shopping. The discount department stores have a wide selection and great prices, so we wanted to compare them.
Here are the results from our back to school shopping trips at Target and Walmart.
