Shopping for back to school --
and even shopping in general - used to be all about having the hottest new
thing. But for Fall 2008, most Americans are worried about two things: the
cheapest and the greenest. Anything that saves money and natural resources is
usually a consumer's best option. Luckilly, we have your sources for both.
