Saving Money on Kids Busy Items

[undertheradar]

We buy art supplies for our kids during the back-to-school season, as many items are at lowest price. We stock up on crayons, markers, notepads, etc. at Target, Walmart and the like. Last night, washable Crayola markers that are normally $3.00 were available for $.78. We get extra pencil boxes that we put these items into for use in carryon bags. We use these items on planes, in the car, waiting at meals, etc. For $5.00 per child, we are able to make some nice art sets.

I can't wait, I'm going to Target today!!! I hope I can catch this great sale. We used lots of markers and crayons on our drive down to Florida. My DS likes to draw and color so thanks a bunch!!!

There is also a printable coupon good for $1.00 off two crayola products on www.smartsource.com. You have to register and it will let you print off 2 coupons with unique pin numbers (note, you aren't supposed to scan and copy these coupons to give to others, they have personal information attached to them so they will be traced back to you).

We got big art sets with a travel desk thing, markers, crayons and chalk for $4.00 last Christmas at Target...they are really nice and I don't normally buy "off brand" crayons.

do these print in color or black and white? I am at a library and I don't want to spend 50 cents to print coupons!

thanks for the link

I think they print in black and white. You can always set the printer up to just do it in black if you are concerned it will come out in color.

they printed in black and white, but each on different pages! So I had to pay more anyhow!
