Back to School Sales
Does anyone else find it perturbing that retail outlets are already starting to advertise for their back to school specials?
Since when did school start in August?
I'm creeped out.

really .. i love it. I love everything about back to school shopping .. the earlier the sales .. the better. The sale prices usually get much better at the end too.

haha, its all the marketing game. Someone started early.. and the rest decided to follow in order to keep up with the competition.
It just means that 2 weeks before school there will be a "Back to Back to Back to School Super Mega Sale". I look forward to it.

I was always bothered by that when I was in high school. Just as you finish the school year and ready to relax for the summer, you see "back to school" banners everywhere. It was always to discouraging.

Looking for a cheap USB KEY for school? USB keys are SUPER useful for storing those Word files for papers and essays. If you write stuff on the library computers, you will need to save the file somewhere because you can't save your work on the public school computers.
So... either e-mail the file to yourself, or put it on a USB memory stick!
CHEAP USB MEMORY STICKS starting at only $4.99 for 256MB!
