Back to School Bargains: 8 'GMA' Exclusive Deals

Aug. 16, 2011 -- intro: Summer is nearly over and kids are heading back to school.

For parents, that means it's time to once again sort through the seemingly miles-long list of the school supplies kids need to make it through another year of books, tests, learning and fun.

Back to school season is second only to the holidays for consumer spending, so you might very well be concerned about the costs of sending your little one off on the bus with a backpack full of must-have items.

Have no fear.

"Good Morning America" workplace contributor Tory Johnson appeared on "Good Morning America" this morning with eight exclusive deals for "GMA" viewers that will help you save big on the extras that add up.

First, the fine print: All deals are valid only on the dates listed below. All deals are available while supplies last. Taxes and shipping (in the United States only) are extra, based on state law and retailer rates. Deals might not be combined with other coupons and offers.
