Have the time to check out stores &
get the best deals possible?? Our wonderful parents have been kind to share some useful tips to buy the supplies at great discounts from popular stores. This demands more time but saves money.

General | | Start watching the ads from Staples and Target, as well as Office Max and Office Depot starting in mid-July. If you are armed with your school supply list, you can watch the ads and get each item when it's on sale. For the last couple of years, I've paid 1 cent for each ream of paper, 25 cents or less for a box of crayons (sometimes they are free with the purchase of markers at Target). | | The heavy duty binders don't usually go on sale, but they do offer them buy 2 get 1 free at Staples, plus they have had double Box Tops on them. | | Markers - I usually end up getting at Target for maybe 50 cents a box. I think last year Target ended up having glue sticks on sale for 20 cents for a pack of 2. | Colored pocket folders can be bought usually for less than 10 cents each (that was another item that Staples offered for 1 cent, with a max of 10...but you can go more than once in a week!). |
