When do school supplies go on sale?

[ADKSPiette]

I just finished most of my school supply shopping today.
I went to Staples for a backpack, which was $42. and then the same one at Target for $30. Go figure!

I got the one at Target, got buyer's remorse and went to the LLBean website. With free shipping, I got a better quality backpack for $29.00!

The binders 1" view $4.49

OK..thanks. I looked on their website and the 1 1/2 " is $7.49!!!! I paid $3.50 EACH at Walmart so I did get the better deal at Walmart.

The 1" at Walmart is $2.50.

You should have gone to Walmart for the crayons. Rose Art is AWFUL!!! They have the 24 pack of Crayola for 25 cents




Did anyone look to see how much the binders were a Staples? They are buy 3 get one free. I was at Walmart and went ahead and bought some there but if it ends up being a good deal I will get some for late on since the binders do not hold up anymore for a whole year.

Thanks. If my walmart has the same price on Crayola, then I'll just return my Rose Art crayons.

Does anybody have their first and second grader's lists. I need to buy for two kids, not my own, and I do not have a list and cannot get one. The school does not have a list. This is a very poor school district, so that maybe why the school does not have or do a list. This is a surprise, so I cannot ask for a list from the guardian. TIA

hedgehog2owl ... I am surprised they are asking for hand sanitizer.. here where I live, they do not want the kids carrying that. They feel (especially the little ones) can get sick if it gets in their mouth...
Also, why do they ask for a beach towel in the K class? I have never heard of that before

many times, the beach towel is used as a nap mat. easy to take home each friday and wash. my DD had to have a cloth nap mat in kindergarten.

When the staples add puts a limit of 2 per customer can a teacher get more? If so how what is the teacher's limit?

I have a Teacher Reward card do I need anything else to show I am a teacher?


Also what does easy rebate mean? Does it work like a regular rebate where I pay the price then wait for a rebate? Last year I bought some stuff and the rebate was done at the cash register so i only paid the after rebate price.

I was at Staples earlier today and the teacher limit is 25.

hmmm about the hand sanitizer...I *think* the teacher keeps it in her closet and they use it at the start of school and before going home. They did the same thing at her pre-k (they all lined up and teacher squirted their hands one by one) so maybe it is a regional thing here?

re: the beach towel- they have a pool and the towel is for the swimming lessons they do during PE

sorry, i spoke out of turn. no pools in the schools around here, but that would be really awesome!

* 1 box Bandaids

I would guess they are having all the dc bring in bandaids to have a supply in the classroom. Wonder if there are any latex allergies in the class. I guess the teacher would know if it was alright to use the latex bandaids.

I make my dd carry her own first aid kit, because of her latex allergy.

Sorry, I don't mean anything by this post. No idea why I posted it.

no problem at all! it was a really good guess!

Thanks. If my walmart has the same price on Crayola, then I'll just return my Rose Art crayons.

I think some Walmarts have them for 30 cents but for a possible extra nickel Crayola is SOOOO much better!!! THe Rose Art is very waxy and they do not look good in art projects.

I also will wait for the crayons at target instead of driving all the way out to walmart.. at least the sales are starting..

The Meijer sales go through July 31. They were wiped out when I was there yesterday. Probably since it was in their ad yesterday.

If you have a Meijer close by... they had the glue sticks and 24 Crayola crayons for .19 each.

 

[MoniqueU]
