Episode Details

Back-to-school shopping just got a lot smarter: families are spending nearly $900 on gear—roughly 13% of monthly income. We tested three big retailers—Walmart, Target, and Dollar Tree—in one neighborhood to find where the real savings lie. From notebooks to pencils, crayons, markers, and tape, Walmart consistently undercut both Target and Dollar Tree. While Dollar Tree charged a steep $1.25 for basics like notebooks and pencils, Walmart kept prices low—notebooks at 38 cents, pencils at 47 cents. Even dry-erase markers and tape were cheaper at Walmart. In the end? Walmart won the budget battle for your kid’s school supplies.
