The countdown is on, school stars around here one week from tomorrow. Yep, August 12. So that means this week I will be finalizing most of my “must-have” items. But I am pretty close to being done. Don’t worry though, I’ll keep doing the round ups until the deals are done. (I’ll stock up for spring refills too!) It’s the home stretch now!

The hottest deals are in red! Happy shopping.
