Kroger in Novi announced its back-to-school deals on school supplies and lunch items — several priced for less than $1 — as the promotion will run in a few short weeks ahead of classes.

This offer aims to help families prepare for the upcoming school year.

Police said a mother of four nearly turning 28 was found dead at Lakeside Park Apartments over the weekend and suspect Terrance Lamar Bowie appeared Tuesday on second-degree murder and evidence tampering charges—he was set with a $2 million bond.
