It’s Back To School Time! That means one thing – Back To School Shopping. But not everyone is made of money or has older kids that need all the top of the line stuff that Time Magazine seems to think is needed in their Back to School Tech List for Wealthy Spoiled Students. Those of us with younger kids know that the one annual essential item is a backpack. Honestly I don’t know how my kids aren’t both walking like hunchbacks with all the papers, books and bottles of water they pack into theirs. The ugly secret of backpacks is they’re usually only good for one season (I’ve found this true even with the expensive LL Bean models). So instead of buying the high end overpriced backpacks – I tend to keep my eyes open for deals like this Wilson Youth Backpack. Made of tough 600 Denier and with two front pockets, 2 side sleeves for water bottles and adjustable padded straps. You can grab one today for $7.99 shipped – which is about 1/2 the price of any decent backpack I’ve spotted elsewhere.
