So if you want to miss the crowds but still get some of the same deals in all the Back to School Supplies it can be done! Not all prices are the same BUT every now and then you get lucky and score the same exact deals as in-stores.

Here is a scenario we just did and got 18 items for $22.76 (tax will always vary by location) Having said that $10 of that was just headphones. In-stores near the electronics there are earbuds that are $1.00 so you can actually just buy a couple pairs of those and be good. (Buy extras in case they go out)

Make sure you select the Free Store Pickup option and it takes off the $5.99 shipping cost as well!

*NEW* Ozark Trail Tumbler Colors in Stock for $8.74!

By 1 Comment By clicking on our links, we might make a SMALL commission - Thanks for the support! See our full DISCLOSURE here.

The Ozark Trail 30 oz tumblers are back in stock and they now have several colors available as well! Choose from the following colors for only $9.74 with FREE Shipping to your door, or free store pickup 🙂

Plus – SOME colors are only $8.74 – WOW!

(I think these look so fun with a monogram on them!)

Personally, I think the Ozark Trail tumbler is pretty amazing.

Being frugal and all – I wanted to see if the YETI was worth all the hype or if a knockoff would do the job.

IMG_20160523_124019036

I picked up a couple Ozark Trail 30 oz tumblers when I first saw them online.

I did a very un-professional ice test just to see how well the cups insulated – and here’s what happened.

I filled the tumbler halfway up with ice and put the lid on about Noon on Friday and left it out on the counter.  Before I went to bed at 11pm Friday it still had good solid chunks of ice and very little water at the bottom.

At 10 am Saturday, I checked on it and there was still a little bit of ice left.

By noon it was all melted. But it kept the water very cold for 24 hours.

That’s it – totally unscientific, but I think that’s pretty good insulation!  What do you think?  Have you tried them both?

I’d LOVE to hear if you do a side by side comparison!
