Project Back to School continues! Here is a round up of the best Back to Schools deals for the week of July 31 – August 6. The hottest deals are in red. Happy shopping!
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE – As of July 28, Office Max changed its policy on using Max Perks. Previously, you could buy gift cards (just not Office Max gift cards) with your Max Perks (I have been doing this for years). However, Office Max has changed its policy so you can no longer buy gift cards of any type with your Max Perks (it still says you can online, but I called corporate and confirmed the change). (Frustrating because I already made several purchases with this intention.) If you made purchases with the same intention, I recommend returning those items (like I did today). You can return in store or you can call Office Max for a pick up.
(Check out my haul from last week below and running total. Remember supplies I purchase are being donated locally.)

Here are the Suburban Mom’s Project Back to School Results from last week (week 1 here, week 2 here, week 3 here). (Note, my grand total is going to be higher this year than last because last year I was able to combine coupons with 100% back deals to “make” money, this year all percent back deals are after coupons.)
FYI – my totals have been adjusted down to reflect the return of items purchased to receive Max Perks. I also returned a pack of markers because I was able to get them free today.
, but I still did well.)
