3 Days and Counting a.k.a School Supply Shopping Plan Week of 8/7/11

Wow, I am just 3 days from the end of my school supply donation challenge.  If you want details, see here.  To date I've collected 170 school supply items for just $71.95.  That leaves me with $28.05 and three days to shop this week's sales to see just how many school supplies I can drop off to Hopelink on Friday.  Here's where I plan to spend the money:

Basically, I plan to shop at all the stores except Target, add up what I've spent, and then spend the remainder of my money at Target.  Then, I'll post a final recap of what I gathered before dropping it off on Friday.  Remember, if you've been collecting supplies, too, and would like me to take them down for you, you need to let me know by Wednesday.  Happy shopping!
