Team Mint ArrowHelloooo first day of school, we see you right around the corner! We can’t believe it’s almost that time of year to get back into the routine of early morning carpools, school lunches, and the kids' favorite… homework! It’s exciting but also a little stressful, because it also means back to school clothes shopping for EVERYONE at once. Even Corrine's older girls who wear uniforms to school need new after-school clothes to play in.
So, how does Corrine as a mom of 5 make sure all her kids get the clothes they need without absolutely breaking the bank? She decided to do some shopping at Walmart this year, and found some amazing outfits for amazing prices. Here are some of the best deals for kids clothes (that they actually like), and backpacks, too!
In a hurry? Slide to shop our top picks below!
