Target School Supply sale

Does anyone remember when it is? Mid August? School supplies are starting up in every store I see so I was curious. I just can't remember.

 

Thanks

Look through the old threads to find the dates, but it is usually much later than you would think. Seems like last year it was mid to late September. Many Western states don't go back to school until after Labor Day, and they just seem to leave it in stores for several weeks.

I thought it varies on location... we start early Aug, usually we have ours late July.

Do you mean the clearance sale of school supplies or just the weekly ad sales?

Thanks I didn't think to look back (forgetting how far back I can actually go here :) ) Staples seems to do their sale school supplies around the same time. Seems to vary slightly but the last 4 years has been the first 3 weeks in August. We moved from NY to Florida and with the kids going back to school in 5 weeks I was looking to cash in on some savings. Now that I think about it, I always complained about it being so early because up in WNY we have no school list in August. Now I already HAVE a school list I can save better and buy what I need, rather than just buy things because they are cheap. IYKWIM...

Our Walmart has their sale going on already. Target's should start next week or the week after. We go back to school the second to last week in August. (in IL)

She means the clearance sale, I believe, not just random sale prices. Target set their BTS section during the last 2 weeks, so their clearance won't start for a while. It varies by region, but generally starts the end of August and ends the end of September, depending on when your local schools start. Though last year, I seem to recall that they didn't do any BTS clearance anywhere until September.
