Pacific NW "Back-to-School" Deals ~ Week of July 10-16, 2011

July 10 ~ 16, 2011

     When I come across back-to-school deals specifically for the Pacific Northwest, I'll share them here with you.  Keep in mind that I haven't been to each of these stores to confirm these prices, nor have I read through every ad.  Some stores may have different prices on some of their back-to-school items.  If you have any questions about the items on sale or their prices, please contact that specific store or a sales clerk.

     This week:  Fred Meyer, Office Depot, Staples, Walgreens, and Walmart!
