Deals at Staples and Office Depot can vary regionally, so be sure to check your sales circulars. And please let us know if you find any other great school supply deals.
I am so lazy in the summer…I just do not have the energy to think about crayons and loose leaf paper quite yet. Hope there will be sales (or supply left) when I get around to it in late August/early Sept.
Our site is down this week 🙁 You’ve come up with some great deals and I’ll be getting some for our kids. They are both going to day school this year!!!! Now my husband is just haggling on the tuition and getting places. Israelis are great at that. LOL. Anyhow, you might get a bit of extra foot traffic for this list. I’m going to Target or Wal-Mart tonight or tomorrow. The school has a list of supplies each child is supposed to bring. Wish me luck! Last year’s school supplies nearly lasted us the whole year.
That’s so frustrating about your site. Do you know what’s wrong? I’ll be doing the school deals round-up every Sunday (bli neder!), so hopefully that’s one less thing to stress about. Feel free to use it when you’re back up and running!
Hi, just visiting from kansascitymamas’s site, but I think you missed the penny deals at Staples. I know it’s a $5 min purchase, but if you get any of the paper that’s cheap after rebate you’re making a $5 purchase. This week’s penny deals are 8 pk pencils, lines notecards, and 2 pk highlighters. It’s not as good as last week’s penny deals combined with 25c ream of paper after rebate, but we needed the notecards anyway. Heaven knows we didn’t need the pencils, but I got them anyway since someone somewhere can use them. DH is a math teacher and if someone actually hires him he’ll come with a strong supply of pencils! 🙂
Thanks! I will add those in.
I’m LOL at your comment about the pencils – I know we have so many and yet I keep getting more because they’re free. I think I’ll donate a bunch to my kids’ school. I hope that your husband finds a new job this month! (I’m sure that’s stressful for everyone.)
Actually he’s been a SAHD for 5 years and is re-entering now b/c DD has made it to 1st grade. (How could we have foreseen this environment when he stepped off the track 5 years ago?) Since we’ve been living on a single income for all these years it’s probably less stressful for us than some, but the hiring window for the year closes in 3-4 weeks so things are getting a little frantic. But we’ll be ok no matter what. Even if he subs for the year it will be a little more income than we’re used to.
Hi there!
I know Price Chopper and Walmart are having some good deals this week. Any where else?
