 TITLE: How to Save Money on Back-to-School Shopping CONTENT: 6\\. Choose Your Stores\n----------------------\nPick your battles when it comes to certain items. You or your child might be particular when it comes to, say, store-brand notebooks or a specific brand of markers your child can't live without—but don't get too comfortable with the convenience of shopping in just one store. If you can buy acceptable, functioning pens at your local discount store for a bargain, go for it.\nAlso think about places where you have extra saving potential. For example, Target's rewards program earns you 1% just for having a Target.com account, but you can add their RedCard™ to save 5% on your purchases—even on already-discounted prices. END
