Where to find the best prices on comforter sets

PHOENIX - Kids need so many things for college; from bedding, to shelving, to microwaves, and the list goes on.

I found huge savings to keep their dorm room and your wallet full.

Whether they stay on campus or off, a comforter set is a must.

So I checked prices at Bed Bath and Beyond , Wal-Mart , Big Lots and Anna’s Linens .

I looked at 8-piece bed-in-a-bag sets, which includes a comforter, sheet set, pillow cases, shams and a bed skirt.  I searched the stores for their cheapest price on these items.

I found the highest price at Bed Bath and Beyond.

The regular price for the 8-piece set is $79.99.

Anna’s Linens is almost half that price.

Their cheapest set for a twin and full is $39.99.

That same set will cost you $10 more for a queen or king.

Wal-Mart is even cheaper.

You'll find an 8-piece set for any size for $39.88.

But we found the best price at Big Lots.

They had an 8-piece bed in a bag set for just $29.99.

Big Lots also had a 16-piece dorm kit that includes a bed in a bag comforter set, a hamper, wash cloths and towels, even a desk lamp and picture frame for just $39.99.

So you get all of that and you're still paying half of what you'd pay at Bed Bath and Beyond.

I did find stores with a lot of deals, especially at Anna's Linens. Everything from $15 comforters to $10 sheet sets.

So check the sales before you pull out your wallet.
