Back-to-School in Flower Mound

Back to school chalkboard

Is it that time of year again already?

The students of Flower Mound have had their rest, and now it’s time for them to head back-to-school (much to the rejoicing of parents). The 2017 school year begins on the 28th across the district, and it’s time to get organized for a stress-free start.

You might still have a lot to do. There are gadgets, school supplies, and clothes to shop for. And don’t forget the coordination of schedules, athletics, and doctor’s appointments. Where does a busy parent start?

I’ve gathered a few handy lists to help the families of Flower Mound get Back-to-School with as little stress as possible.

Back-to-School Shopping

Shopping cart for back to school shopping

While back-to-school shopping can be exciting (I personally love notebooks and pens), it can be tough to know where the best place is to do your shopping. The answer is – it depends. Many department stores will attempt to bring in shoppers with low-cost items as loss-leaders, such as paper or pencils, while keeping prices up on high-ticket items that might be purchased purely out of convenience.

To that end, I’ve done a little comparison shopping in and around Flower Mound from the stores below to find out where the best price can be found on those big-ticket items to help you save some real money.

While in-store prices are usually consistent (or even lower if there’s a sale) than online prices, I would recommend checking the store’s page before committing to something big like a Chromebook.


Walmart 3020 Justin Rd, Highland Village, TX 75077

My recommendation is to order online and pickup in person. Wal-Mart’s online prices for a few of these big ticket items is higher in the store than if you order it ahead online, and they have already-loaded local school supply lists for easy ordering. Shop smart!
