Dress Your Student for Under $50 at Walmart

by Christine - From Dates to Diapers on August 15, 2009

On average, moms spend $234 on apparel during the back-to-school timeframe. Walmart, however, can help cut your spending by more than a quarter with their range of youth tops, jeans, and skirts all priced under $10 an item. I’ve been told that families shopping on a budget can assemble a week’s wardrobe, at Walmart, at the low cost of $50 per child!

Really? Only $50… for a whole weeks worth of school clothes?

Armed with a $50 gift certificate provided by Walmart, I am going to put this theory to the test next week, the busiest back-to-school shopping week of the season.

Crazy, huh?

Here are just some examples of the great savings I hope to find at my local Walmart, on back-to-school clothes ::

· Girls Faded Glory® Mix and Match Top, $5 + Faded Glory® Mix and Match Scooter skirt, $5
· Boys Faded Glory® Short-sleeved Crew Shirt, $3.50  +  Starter® Dazzle Shorts, $3
· Boys Faded Glory® Striped Polo Shirt, $5 +  Faded Glory® jeans, $6
· Girls Faded Glory® Tank Top, $2.50 + Faded Glory® shorts, $2.50
· Boys Starter ® Screened T-Shirt, $5 +  Starter ® Breakaway Pants, $7

Come back soon for a chance to win a $50 Walmart gift card, so you can prove the savings for your own family!

I would love to see this!

In Canada we dont have the Faded Glory line.
I have two teens and one tween, and walmart clothes aren’t cool.
