Now that school is almost here, how do you do your shopping?

I buy all the school supplies at Staples and WalMart. That is already done. I get the backpacks online and the clothes off season the previous year. I'm all ready for them to go back already :)

I would definitely take my kids to the stores to pick their favorite. I would like to do the shopping online, but sometimes, they may not like what they got. So to save all the hassle, I would rather take them to the stores instead of ordering online.

I am not in school myself, and I don't have kids in school, but if I were involved with a school, I'd do my shopping the same way I'd do any other kind of shopping. I prefer to shop on line, and have it all delivered. I try to stay as far away from the malls as possible. There are too many people in there.

we do our back to school shopping a little bit at a time. school for our daughters doesnt start for another whole month (the day after labour day is when they both go back), so we usually start by looking at their stuff for last year, trying on clothes etc, making a list of school supplies they need, that sort of thing and do the shopping over the month of august.

I have never shopped online. I always go to stores and see what they have there and see what I like. I sometimes go to garage sales to see if they have some cute things for a cheaper price then what I see at the stores.

i for sure like to do back to school shopping in stores. i like this method much better because you are able to see the clothes for real life. i like it because i'm able to try the clothes on and see how they look on me. on the websites the clothes can look better in picture form then in real life. there are also some great sales that are going on in stores right now. i've been able to get some great deals on clothing for the next school year.

I don`t shop much online. Unless what I want is only available online. I like to look at what I`^m buying. I like to touch it and see if close and from various angles. MY back to school shopping... well we plan to do it by going to the stores instead of online. My daughter will be buying most of her stuff herself and we`ll help out if she needs. My son we`ll go an buy with him.
