Back-to-school sales are practically an institution, and with in-person classes picking up steam again for this year, it's time to get little ones (and big kids!) equipped for school. National retailers are really taking the deals to new heights with bargains like $5 uniform polo shirts at Target, $6 styles for kids at Old Navy and an extra 50% off sales items at the Gap.
Read on to find out where to spend your money smartly so your kids can go back to school in style.
