It’s that time of year again! Even though the days are sweltering and there is plenty of summer left, metro Atlanta area kids are heading back to school.
And that inevitably means spending money — for clothing, shoes, haircuts, school supplies, and other items. So it really helps when you can get some of these items for free or cheap.
Fortunately, there are also a lot of giveaways at this time of year. Churches, police departments, retailers, and others are giving away away bookbags, backpacks, and all kinds of school supplies. These items can give you a good start to the school year and help you do your homework.
We’ve put together a list of back-to-school bashes and giveaways. Click through the links for more info on each one. Remember, in most cases, kids must be present to receive the freebies.
NOTE: Some of these events ask you to RSVP in advance for a spot, while others are first-come, first-served.
You may also want to check out the Amazon stock-up-and-save sale. It is available only to Prime members. You can save 20% on select items when you spend at least $50.
