Note: This round-up is not *every* sale item at the following stores, rather the deals that I think are most notable.
Don’t forget that most of the major office supply stores price match, as do Target and Walmart. Read more about price matching school supply deals.

Drat! The best Staples deals haven’t started here yet. When does public school open there? Here it’s not until after Labor Day.
Paul – we go back mid August (the 22nd, I think?).
DD’s school starts Aug.17, but the public school here starts Aug. 15. Start now to be done before Memorial Day.
I’m disappointed that most of Office Max’s deals this year require a $5 purchase. That doesn’t work when I only spend less than $1!
I know, right?! At Staples, I got “around” that by buying the rebate paper deals.
