Our school has a fun “Woo-hoo/Boo-hoo” party for parents after drop off on the first day of school. Will you be woo-hooing and jumping for joy or boo-hooing and shedding tears that summer is over? I think I’ll be doing a little of both this year! Whichever you’ll be doing, summer is quickly coming to an end and it’s time to get our act together do our back to school prep in the Treasure Valley.
Where will you be doing your “back to school” shopping in the Treasure Valley? I did a quick poll on our Instagram Stories recently and have some great suggestions to share!
Supplies:
Unsurprisingly, Target, Wal-Mart, Fred Meyer and Amazon were the top supply spots. Are there any other not-so-obvious spots?
Clothes and Uniforms:
The most popular spots were definitely Old Navy and Target! Other recommendations were H&M, Shein, Gap, Carters, Amazon, and Fred Meyer.
For those looking for uniforms, The Children’s Place and Kidz Again were highly recommended along with Old Navy and Target who often have great uniform sales throughout July and August.
Shoes:
The older they get, the harder they are on shoes! And dang they can get expensive! Here are the top recommendations for shoe shopping for the kids:
- Stores
- Shoe Carnival
- Target
- Nike
- Poshmark and consignment or resale stores like Kid to Kid and Kidz Again
