School supply deals

[mjantz]

Anyone know any good school supply deals? I'm specifically looking for notebooks, filler paper & crayons for .10-.25 each. Thanks!

Office Depot has filler paper for .25 cents.

Staples here in FL has filler paper for a penny with a $5 purchase (limit of 5 while supplies last).
Not sure how great of a deal this is, but they are also selling a pass for $10 which saves you 15% off -Includes binders, notebooks, backpacks and more! Through August 11th. Does not give details whether it can be combined, used with sale other coupons, etc.

If you are going to spend over $50 for some reason, shipping is free to order online and Ebates gives 4% cash back.

Staples has great deals every week. They usually sell out fast the first day of the ad though (Sunday usually). My Staples however restocks the shelves midweek usually and I get the deals then without the crowds.

The Back to School card really isnt worth it unless you are going to buy alot of supplies. There is just too many things they dont allow to be qualified as school supplies. However, if you are buying large quanities it works out.

Also there have been alot of printable coupons that have been really good deals. You really have to jump on those though as they are out of prints fast.
My favorite one this year was the 1.00 off 3 Roseart products and the crayons at Walmart were .25 so they were free. Also remember you can print those coupons twice. Some people say they have problems with printed coupon sites but if you are on a reputable site you are usually fine. Check manufacturer webpages, and Facebook pages.

I just wanted to add something to what you said. you can most often print 2 of each coupon. if you have 2 computers you can print them on both computers and end up with 4 coupons. I used coupons.com and havent ever had an issue. I am also on the coupon train on this board as well as I use couponwizzards and Krazy coupon lady for extra help in finding deals and how to use my coupons . I do NOT ever clear a shelf and i think the most I have ever taken is 4 of something ( tp) because I had a rain check and used coupons. hyow much Tp can a family use anyways?? That part just seems crazy to me. Staples, office depot, Target , Walmart all are having good sales. Publix is having some good deals also if you combine them with coupons. I dont like rose art products they don't seem to last. I might get some to give away at the school though. you can also sometimes get name brand ( think crayola) products at the Dollar Tree also. Just some more ideas for ya

This week, target has markers for .49 AND you get a free box of 24 crayons with each markers! Got several yesterday. My sons prefer markers now, so I will donate all the crayons.

I wonder if it is a regional sale, we were at Target yesterday and did not find any great deals. They were 97 cents for markers. So far TRU had Crayons 4 for $1. All the stores around here just do not have the deals as in the past.

I agree about not seeing the same deals..it was tax free weekend here so we knew there wouldn't be anything spectacular but it seems like overall there just haven't really been any good deals on school supplies.

One of the few things I needed to buy for supplies was notebook paper. This week Staples has it for .01 for a pack of 120 sheets (college or wide rule), and you can buy 5 at this price as long as you spend at least $5, not including the .05 cents for that paper. One of the easiest ways to get up to that $5 is to buy the rebate copier paper, which is $6.99 w/ a rebate of $5.99 (easy online rebate). The paper winds up costing you $1 plus the tax on the whole thing. So I got my paper, some "erasable" highlighters that my DD had to have for $1, a few flexible 1" binders at .75 ea (limit 2 at this price) and was out of there for about $10. I already did the online rebate, and that should show up in check form in a few months. I also got a $10 off $50 purch at Aeropostale w/ my receipts, if that is something you can use, it's a deal. Mine expires 8/12/12. Happy shopping!
