It seems like yesterday that the bell rang and our kids scampered off to summer vacation, yet here we are, gearing up for the next school year. And just like the years of past, it’s a race to school supply sales and a challenge of stocking up on a back-to-school budget.
Charter school families sometime have some additional items on their shopping list, depending on the type of school their children attend. School uniforms, for example, may be cost-saving over the course of the year as it may cut down on other clothing purchases. However, the up-front expense of uniform acquisitions for the new school year can be challenging for many budget conscious buyers.
Here are a few deals and steals being advertised on school uniforms this week:
· Wal-Mart is selling boys short sleeve polo’s for as little as $5 each. Backpacks also sighted near the WalMart shoe department for $9
· Target is offering short sleeve polo’s for boys for around $7 each
· Kohl’s is offering FREE shipping on purchases over $75 and have a regular offering of dress code basics (for a limited time only)
· My personal favorite www.frenchtoast.com offers a good assortment of competitively priced uniform attire. Until August 20th, 2009 coupon code QCSPH9 will give you FREE shipping on purchases over $75. Plus French toast offers affordable embroidery items and school fundraisers.
· purchase gently used uniforms from your charter school or consignment store. Read Denver Charter Schools Examiner’s

Another good uniform site to try is www.schoolofuniforms.com. Very user friendly website and they almost always run great sales.
Great article. My kids wore uniforms for most of their school careers and I found it to be a blessing and a savings, especially when they were in high school.
Love French Toast unis! They are the best- hold up the longest, practically don't wear out.
Thanks for a great article.
