Back-to-School Deals to Save Shelby-Utica Moola

Find out where to score back-to-school deals in town.

This time of year is the perfect chance to stock up on office and school supplies at the best possible prices. As you check items off your back-to-school shopping list, consider your year-long needs.

We all know to bring along the required supply list, but have you thought ahead? Now is the time to grab a few extra supplies; when it's necessary to replace overworn folders and nubby glue sticks in the middle of the year, you won't have to cringe as you pay full retail. An extra set of art supplies, glue and pencils can be kept at the ready to complete assignments and projects at home. Many of these items aren't just for students, either - they'll be put to good use in your own office, so don't skimp when the deals are calling.

Here are some of most noteworthy back-to-school bargains this week:
