HP, Walmart and Back-To-School - Giveaway!


It is back to school time - this week where I live the traditional year students started school (including my teen).   Back to School has a way of sneaking up on parents for sure.  One minute you are enjoying the summer and the next minute you are scrambling to buy clothes, school supplies, shoes, etc.

A lot has changed since I was a student.  In college I had an electric typewriter - that was in high demand at the dorms!  In even more demand was the word processor that one of the other girls had.  All of this is so obviously outdated or obsolete by today's standards.

Students today need to be equipped with the proper technology tools to succeed.  Whether a college student or  a student entering high school OR simply a grade school kid sharing a family computer, technology is a must.

My elementary and middle school aged kids have specific sites to visit that are required for homework and my high schooler uses various online tools.  A home PC is a truly a must - I cannot imagine not having one.  In addition to regular homework, the girls frequently have projects that require printing, whether for papers, presentations or graphics - all requiring a PC that is user friendly but can perform on demand!

Walmart is a great option for back to school - with everyday low prices and great variety, Walmart is sure to have everything your family needs for back-to-school!   (In fact, I was even there today picking up some last minute back to school items...)

If you are considering investing in a PC, HP products are available at Walmart this back to school season, including the HP Pavilion dv6-7029wm Entertainment PC, the HP Deskjet 3052a e-All-in-One printer, and HP XL ink cartridges.

I learned that you can often get even better deals after school starts. And considering that they don't have to have everything the first few days of school, why not wait and get a better deal? Right now those after start sales are going on around my area. :)
