Stationery and Sneakers

Arguably the best part of back-to-school shopping – STATIONERY. Okay, maybe not for everyone but cracking a fresh pen and notebook just hits different at the beginning of the school year.

The obvious retailer here is Walmart, and for good reason. They have literally everything you could need off your supply list – pens, pencils, markers, crayons, binders, backpacks… You get it. But they also have the other ones on your list like tissues and sanitizer. And we all know that the prices are unbeatable.

On every list is a pair of non-marking indoor shoes. There are a lot of kids who really use those shoes, like wear them to the sole, so you have to get a good pair of shoes that will last. Enter, DSW. They have an incredible selection of brand-name shoes like Skechers, Adidas, and Puma. Plus, we have it under good authority that good shoes make kids run faster (source: 7-year-old runner, Oliver).

Finally, technology is an important part of back to school. For kids, teens, and young adults making the transition to post-secondary, computers and phones that can keep up are essential. Stop by Bell or Sasktel for the latest phones, tablets, and accessories and check out London Drugs for laptops, polaroid cameras, and more!
