POLL: Back-to-School Shopping Already?

The sales have started so Patch wants to know if Fair Oaks families are shopping already, early and often.

August 15 marks the first day of public school for many Fair Oaks students and local stores are hawking back-to-school sales. Are you cutting short the beach time, pool lounging, trail hiking to take advantage?

If so, where is your favorite store to hit in Fair Oaks? Of course, the place that has the perfect stash of school supplies might not be the same place where you can snag the latest fashions off the rack. Do you go to a big department store and try to toss everything into one shopping cart or do you like to go from store to store for specialty items?

We ask because some parents are new at this (remember when you were?) and could use some advice. Share your plan of attack below.
