Back to School-Wallet Blues Edition and Giveaway

The task, take 2 boys into Walmart and buy them 2 pages worth of school supplies each.  Easy... right?  Well maybe it was easy but, it wasn't cheap.  1 cart and $135 dollars later I left the store dazed, confused, and hungry.  The hungry most because it was almost dinner time.  The dazed and confused because whatever happened to some loose paper, a couple of pens, and a Trapper Keeper? 

Well apparently they still make Trapper Keepers but they aren't on any school supply list my boys have received.  Instead we have to buy 4 gig thumb drives and graphing calculators.  It makes me and my wallet miss the days of big pink erasers and number 2 pencils. 

Well thankfully the folks over at Nestle Family and Reading Is Fundamental want to make this back to school season a little easier for you.  They are offering one of my lucky readers a pretty fantastic giveaway.
