School supplies Thread

Good deal! Do they seem like sturdy backpacks? I'll have to take her there today to look. My kids refuse to use lunch boxes anymore--not considered cool here for high school or middle school--but DH uses one. Guess he can have a new one. Think he'll want HSM, too?!?


:rotfl2: Or he could get a Hannah Montana!!!!:rotfl:

They actually had some non character ones. The backpacks were ok, nothing strong like a Jansport. I got DS a Jansport at Mervyns. It was 30% off, plus I had a 20% off coupon! So, it came out to about $20 for a VERY sturdy backpack with lots of pockets!:thumbsup2
 
Any sales on filler paper The cheapest I've seen lately is 50c and I know it was cheaqper last year. That's the last thing I thjink I need till ther LIST comes home and you discover all these idiotic things they want you to buy !!
 
The Ink Stop has filler paper on sale for 15c; thru tomorow (Saturday). Not sure if anyone will have it on sale beginning Sunday. I need to pick some up and hope to get out and pick some up myself; hopefully they will have some left.


:woohoo: :banana:

Beats the Bic .39 cent highlighters from a couple weeks ago. :thumbsup2 We also picked up more .99 cent 3-subject notebooks. Then, we went to Staples for the free folders and .50 cent graph paper. We're doing great on school supplies this year! :yay:

Well, I blew the budget today... I spent about $4 at Staples today! :lmao: I got the limit of three of the 5 cent notebooks (6 pack x 5 cents = 30 cent/pack). I got the limit three of the 25 cent composition notebooks (2 pack x 25 cents = 50 cents per pack). I got the $1 Sharpie highlighters. I got the last graphing notebook for 50 cents (only one I could find anyway). And I got the free (limit 10) folders!

I just love a good deal!

Anybody know what kind of deals Wal-Mart has right now? I need to get to Walgreens too.
 
Sunday I went to Walgreens to get some of their deals. They never got the mechanical pencils and highlighters. The manager told me to check back after Tuesday. So, I went in today got the mechanical pencils and the highlighters. I had my son with me and had him ready to pay for his. the cashier told me that they had a limit of 3 per HOUSEHOLD. She directed me to the manager.
The manager said, that it states on the coupon Limit 3 and they also have the right to limit what each customer purchases. He didnt seem very happy to be bothered by my inquiry. So, I explained to him, that I had already came on Sunday and they were out. I could have gotten 3 then and another 3 today. I didn't think it was too much to ask for, since I was inconvenienced on my first visit. Now he was really upset. He gave me this look, like I was asking for some outrageous request. Then he yelled "FINE THEN!! JUST GIVE THEM TO HER"
I really couldnt believe how he spoke to me. I grabbed my kids and started to leave. He said "Arent you going to get the highlighters?". Then I turned around and told him I couldnt believe how he had spoken to me that way. That I felt he was wrong to scream at a customer all over $1.20!! All he could say was "I'm sorry" as we walked out.

Was I really asking for too much?:confused3
OMG, I love Walgreen's, the one near me is the best store I have ever shopped at. The manager's are always super nice, the employees are always and I mean always asking me if there is something they can help me find. They offer subsititutes if they run out of something listed in the paper and once they over charged me and so when I went home and looked over my receipt I worked out the overage and brought my finding to the store and the manager fixed it no questions asked and was apologizing profusely. I always go to Walgreen's with my 4 kids and we all get the limit of the super good sale stuff with no problems.
 
Nena- that really sucks!

Does anyone know where I can can get 2 in binders? I need 10 of them. I am donating 5 backpacks full of supplies & am trying to find these cheaper than 3.50 a piece
Where are you located? My DH bring boxes of them home from work and we've been donating them to my sons school but they don't want them anymore because we've donated like over 200 of them and they can use them fast enough. I am in NO. VA.
 
I went to Walgreens today and got some of the 9 and 19 cent items. They were out of the Bic highlighters. Oh, well. Target was out of water color paints too. Grrr... Anyway, at Walgreens, my order rang up at $7 something. I thought that was high, but I was keeping track of three kids, so I checked when I got outside. Yup, $4 too much. I went back in and it turns out I grabbed the wrong pack of paper, one thing rang up wrong, and one coupon wasn't working right. Anyway, they gave me the money back, so it worked out okay. But I had to haul all the kids back in and had to go to the car twice to exchange items! lol What I don't do to save a few bucks!
 
Thanks for the heads up everyone! I have not been to Wal-Mart or Target in ages --I was wondering if either of them has their bookbags out yet? My daughter is in search of a Jonas Brothers one this year so any info would be greatly appreciated!!:thumbsup2

The Disney store has the cutest camp rock backpack..its pricey..but too cute!!
 
I wish someone would put 8pks of markers on sale for .50 each. I'm trying to put together small art-related gifts for my students for Christmas presents & $1 or even .88 each is just too much for as many as I need. At least I got the .20 crayons.
 
Just in case these didn't already get posted (I didn't read through all 11 pages of this thread)...

Walgreens has BOGO binders and SEVERAL supplies for under 20 cents including:

Highlighters (6pk)
pens
pencils - regular and mechanical
erasers
paper
folders
index cards

I got tons of stuff for my girls - all for under $3

Staples has 10 folders for free, single subject notebooks for 5 cents, comp notebooks for 25 cents, and graphing paper notebooks for 50 cents. I got 10 folders, 18 notebooks, and a graphing paper notebook for $1.50.
 
Does anyone have ruled paper on sale? I always keep extra and buy only at the beginning of school. I am down to 6 packs and would like to pick up 10 more packs for no more than 25 cents a pack.
