The back-to-school season is an exciting time -- but it can also be expensive.

We've teamed up with DentalPlans.com, a money-saving alternative for those without dental insurance, to help you defray the costs, so you can focus on the fun that a new school year brings.

You can enter to win a back-to-school prize pack just by pinning your favorite money-saving tips on Pinterest. It's our #FinPin for Summer's End contest!

The prize pack includes:

A $75 gift card to Dentist.net to buy dental goodies of your choice -- so your kids can go back to school with bright smiles!
A $200 gift card to Chili's -- so your family's last supper this summer is on us.
$200 cash to spend on your back-to-school shopping spree.

Here's how to enter:

Follow DentalPlans.com, Dentist.net and Bankrate.com on Pinterest.
Pin links to three of your favorite money-saving tips or articles on one of your Pinterest boards. One pin/ link must be to a Bankrate article.
Comment on this blog post with a link to your Pinterest board containing pins linking to the money-saving articles.

We'll select a winner at random.
