Welcome back for week eight of The Krazy Coupon Lady’s back-to-school deals!

Keep following this guide every week, and you’ll have more than enough school and office supplies to last the rest of the year! These prices are valid 8/25-8/31.

Click these links to view the full match ups of the Drugstores, Supercenters and Office Supply stores.

SanDisk 8GB Cruzer USB 2.0 Flash Drive $5.99
