Track the Back-to-School Sales - Thursday 1st January 2015

During the weeks leading up to the first day of school, I start checking all the sale brochures from Target, Kmart, Big W, Officeworks, Coles, Woolworths and newsagents. The stores have specials at different times, so I note down on a piece of paper what I need, which store has the deal, and when. It's tedious but in the end the extra effort saves us loads of money.
