Back to School Deals

Recommended Posts

Yes yes, it's that time, back to school sales time! Or for me, since I'm not in school or have children going back to school, office supplies restocking! Post the deals here!

 

EDIT: In an attempt to keep the thread less cluttered, when the sale ends for the week, I'm hiding the deals in spoiler tags and then merging them into one post.

Office Depot, Week of 07/7-07/13:

 

3.00 with coupon:

- Color, Inkjet, and Laser Paper Reams, LIMIT 2

The colored paper is $3 off regular price making it $7.Xx. I thought if was $3 too, until I got to the register and total was too high. Different types of coupons on the same page = confusing.

Just went and did some back to school shopping this morning at walmart. 10 composition books, pencil top erasers, dry erase markers, pencils, scissors, crayon box, colored pencils, glue sticks and a few more things. I still have lots left to buy just waiting for the other stuff to go on sale too :)

Please list the prices you got these items at! That way we'll know where the best deals are.

 

On another note...Does anyone else wonder why Office Depot doesn't really seem to be doing any great deals this year? I'm also annoyed that their website requires you to register (with a phone number) just to make a shopping list.

 

I'm getting discouraged at getting deals like last year, but maybe it's too early for the good stuff...at least that's what I'm hoping. I usually stock up on stuff for my Girl Scout Service Unit, and want the absolute best deals (1 - 10 cents for each would be ideal).

I hit Staples today (way on the other side of town) and did pretty well. I usually find my best deals at Walgreen's or my Kroger affiliate grocery store (they have the 24 ct. Crayola crayons for .29 which is the best I've seen so far).

I went to Office Depot yesterday but my store didn't get any of the .50 rulers. I picked up the folders and the Tug pencil sharpeners for .10. I really love those sharpeners and will go back later this week for more and also for the rulers.

 

Now I need to find a good deal on Elmer's glue bottles and glue sticks!

I said I wasn't going to even think about school until August but if the deals are out there now, then I'm going to take advantage of them.

so I looked up ad online since I don't know where paper is and the elmer's glue sticks are .10 with 4 oz elmers school glue at .50. Then they show 3 pack of glue sticks at 2.94 on same page....who in their right minds would do that? single subject spiral notebooks are .17 with 12pk crayola color pencils and 10pk markers for .97

The ones that really stand out in my head (don't have the receipt anymore) the composition books were $.50 each, the crayola color pencils were $.97 each box of 12, pencil top erasers were $.97 for a 25 pack... I'm sure if I had waited a few more weeks the sale would have been better but in our little itty bitty walmart stuff goes fast! Most of the stuff I got was in the sale ad.

YAY!!! Index cards at Staples!! I may take them up on the "teacher" limit for them. We use a LOT of them! Thanks Cindy!!

I went to Staples last week and was told by the associates that the teacher limit no longer applies. You can purchase up to the normal limit at the discount, but pay full price after that. You must request the difference in limit, up to 20, (not sure if it's mail in or online), which will come as a Staples Reward, not a cash refund. I won't be buying supplies for my classroom from Staples anymore.

I got my limit of cap erasers and index cards and a lot of the FAR stuff. I am going to have to go a couple of times this week. I still haven't bought the FAR copy paper so I can still use that to hit the $5 mark, and my staples only had the apple post its, not the hearts or stars, so that is at least 2 more trips LOL

 

At my staples, they only had the Pentel Finito pens in the BOGO pack (6 pens, 3 asssorted color, 3 black) still for $2.00, so I picked that up, just to try. I kind of like them. They are a lot finer than my normal pen, but the ink is smooth and dark. It will be good for those little boxes on the forms I have to fill in. Sometimes my Bold pens are too big to make it look nice.

Target has the 3x5 index cards on sale for .49 this week. These are always on our supply list and I don't think I've ever found them for under fifty cents. Bought 10 packs (add didn't have a limit) and hoping that will hold us.

I was eyeballing those in this week's ad. I might pick those up to try it out.
