Guest poster, Tara, here. Sharon, Aryn, and I all share a love for a great deal. Oh, the stories we could tell…
Well on to the deals, the back to school deals are starting and it’s just the first weekend in July. My son is starting Kindergarten this year and I have already printed off the school supply list. These lists crack me up, I totally understand the reason for requesting a specific brand. I still haven’t figured out why each child for my son’s class needs to bring 20 Crayola glue sticks. Yes, I said 20. I thought it was a typo until I scrolled own and saw that 1st graders needed 16. Yes, I said 16.
Fortunately, I have a stash of quite a few of the items needed on the list. My stockpile of free tissues and wipes have already come in handy! I’m feeling pretty good so far. But, my goal is to pay rock bottom prices for the remaining supplies if they aren’t free. As I perused the inserts today, I eyed the best deals in the Staples ad.
July 6-9, Staples is offering a few penny deals:
- 2-pocket folders with fasteners or without, limit 10 per customer
- Dixon #2 yellow pencils, 8-pack, limit 2 packs per customer
- Purell .5oz bottle, limit 2 per customer
Not a penny, but still a good deal:
- 1/2″ or 1″ binders for a quarter, limit 4
- Pentel Handy Lines retractable assorted highlighters, FAR (easy rebate)
Just a helpful hint, I understand they allow teachers a higher limit.
