When do school supplies go on sale? - Page 4 - The DIS Discussion Forums

teacher9702 · 07-02-2009, 11:15 PM

I just saw a Wal-Mart ad where prices are valid from 7/5-7/11

25 cent 70-pg spiral notebook
30 cent elmer's washable glue
30 cent crayola 24-count crayons

Not sure when the sales start, but we were at a Target store yesterday and they had the seasonal dept. all ready for school supplies -- so I am assuming any day now?

Very depressing on the first day of July, BTW......

Thanks for the heads up! I've got 2 in school this year so the sales will definately help.

Just think of the children where I live. They start the new school year on Tuesday July 7. A lot of the schools are year round.

This past school year I didn't have enough notebooks and fille paper. I was surprised how much DD went through. I'm sure middle school in the fall won't be any better. I think last year by now more stores were revealing their sales?

Any news from any stores doing penny sales?

mum4jenn · 07-03-2009, 09:05 PM

I just looked at the Sunday ads for July 5th for Staples and Office Depot and neither one has any big sales on basic school supplies. Office Depot has some pens and such but not at any really big savings. Staples is not showing any type of school supplies on sale.

I just get ticked beyond belief here with no list. I know some basic things obviously and get those but then I have to go back and hunt through picked over stuff at full price to get what we need.

Have you checked your school system's website?

momof1princess · 07-05-2009, 01:01 PM

ok, i saw the wal-mart ad too...it's in today's Parade magazine. .25 70 sheet spiral notebooks, .30 4 oz washable elmer's school glue and .30 24 count crayolas, ad is good 7/5/-7/11. oh, and walgreen's will have expo dry erase markers 4 pack for $1.99, 7/12-7/18.

Our school system doesn't release supply lists either until schedule pick-up which is the 3rd week of August. I complain every year and it gets nowhere. Really ticks me off when we get color specific lists and you have to hunt for a certain color and it's out of stock. Actually had a teacher send me an "invoice" for $.25 one year because she listed a purple folder and I couldn't find one at the store I went to so bought another color until I could get to another store to find a purple - she supplied my daughter with the "correct color" and billed me!

I haven't seen our Local Walmart add and when I look online the ad is saying through 7-4. I might just take a trip to the store to see if they have these sales also.

i saw this ad today in "Parade" magazine today-the little magazine that comes in my Sunday paper. it's page 5 or 6, i think.

Toys R Us (here in NY) has buy a backpack and get a lunchbox free (up to 9.99). They also have 25% off the Thermos brand Funtainers (they come out to 11.95 instead of about 14.99).

kinntj · 07-05-2009, 05:23 PM

I thought those 24 Crayola crayons went for .20 last year at Walmart?

I bought one box at Meijer (those of you in the are) for .19 and that's all that was left. I saw a lady with a cart full of Crayola on the other end of the store and booked it over there. Sure enough filler paper was .39 and Crayola markers were .79 for fine line and broad tip.

It's a good start for my 2nd grader. She doesn't have a list yet, but I'm going for the basics and then will get anything extra later.

I'll be keeping my eye out for composition books, pencils, glue sticks, pens and etc.
