It's time to head back to school, and one thing's for sure- the spending can add up rather quickly. Whether you're buying new outfits for the kids, or stocking the classroom with supplies for the new school year, you've likely seen a few dollar signs floating by one by one. It's easy to feel like you're on a spending spree at the start of the new school year, and there are so many items that kids need to get ready to go back to school. If you have kids, you'll need to save those extra pennies for field trips, school pictures, and class rings!

The next time you need to pick up some gifts, head to your local Giant Eagle to double dip on savings! Why not help your child's teacher out by gifting them a gift card at the start of the school year. Did you know that many teachers wind up spending a lot of their paychecks on supplies for their classrooms? Give a special gift so they can put the gift card toward supplies, or perhaps enjoy a nice dinner out with their family. Your act of kindness will even save you some money on your groceries!
