I'm ISO of 1 cent school supply deals!

In store is okay with me.

Staples had some two weeks ago.
Office Depot did it last week.

Who's next? Anybody have a heads up on this type of deal?

THANK YOU!!!!!
 
Oh I wanna know too! I can see the mass riot this can cause, LOL, I'll be smack in the middle of it, LOL!
 
Oh :eek:... no riots... at least not yet! I think the Back To School sales are all still flying under the radar. Both times I didn't have any problems (except that Staples was down to their last 4 packs of the 10 pack of pencils... but I got two so I was okay with it! :p).

If you see different at stores by you, please... post a photo of you in the melee! That would be funny!
 
I heard a rumor that Walgreens and someone else is having 5 cent deals that start on Sunday. I don't know what the items are though...

Can anyone fill me in?
 
I just got this in my newspaper today. Here are the Walgreens 5 cent deals: 5 pk papaer mate mechanical pencil limit 3, Penway 2 pocket folders limit 5, Penway mini composition books limit 4, Penway single highlighter limit 3.

LOL....just hit me up with some reputation!!!! Good luck on your quest!
 
So I went to Office Depot First today. I wanted to get the plastic folders (1 cent), crayons (25 cents) and filler paper (15 cents). So a bunch of guys were moving the filler paper on a skid. As they went by, I grabbed two because I was going to buy them. One of the guys takes them from me and says that he can't sell them to me; they are ringing up 0 cents and no matter what they do they can't fix the problem. Little miffed, but I didn't really need the paper *that* bad (wasn't on our list) so I let it pass. So I get to the register and she rings up my 10 folders and my box of crayons and my total is 26 cents. The folders were having the same problem as the paper... they rang up Free. Am I bad because I didn't say a thing? I bet you would have done the same...:p

Then over to Walgreen where I picked up 3 highlighters for 5 cents each and 3 packs of mechanical pencils for 5 cents each.

The only things left on my list are glue sticks and ziploc bags. I think I may get away with less than $5 for school supplies this year. YAY!

So... if you see any Ziploc deals or glue stick deals, please let me know! THANKS!

I hit walgreen's too, their 5 cent sale is until July 26th. They have 2 pocket folders, small composition books, packs of 5 mechanical pencils, and highlighters for 5 cents each, although one helpful tip: Go to the register ahead of time and ask if they will allow you to double or triple the limit. They allowed me to double the limit at 2 of our walgreens and triple the limit at the other 2, so I got about $10 in school supplies, and I didn't have to wait from day to day to go back! They also have 29 cent filler paper, college and wide ruled, how long is the office depot sale going on? I may drop by there on wednesday!

I would assume that it is good all week.

They had a HUGE pallet with LOTS of boxes on it, but they still wouldn't sell them to me... :ohwell: LOL
 
Best I have found on glue sticks is 22 cents at walmart
 
ALSO walmart in my area is having single subject composition books for 5 cents, I bought 2 cases for $2.50!!
 
At Office max they have rulers for a penny, small highlighters for a penny, small keyring type sharpie markers for 10 cents, poly 3ring binders for 25 cents, composition books for 50 cents

Kmart has glue sticks at 10 for a dollar, they come in packs of 2

Kmart also has 12 count colored pencils at 25 cents a box


Just a tip, most stores I went to today said they were getting trucks in tonight in order to gear up for the weekend! Hope this update helps!
 
ALSO, all of the stores I went to would bend on their limits, I dunno if it was the fact that they felt sorry for me because I had 3 screaming kids or they just were able to bend on the limit per customer, but it may help to take a screaming kid or 2! LOL
 
I stopped off at Office Max today. They still had their sale stuff! All I wanted was some of those cute mini sharpies. I love 'em!





So... what's the scoop for tomorrow? Any heads up on any deals?
 
I get the newspaper at 6am

Unfortunately I won't be up til noon, LOL!

I'll let you know what I find.
 
HA! LOL Best wishes for a good night's sleep! :sleep: I look forward to when I can sleep until noon again... wait... I've actually never done that... It will be a nice goal to aspire to!


In any case... I did a google search and found this on "another" site:

That's awesome tigger!! I can't wait to hit up staples! Last year my MIL spent $400 on school supplies for 7 kids, so far this year I have spent $25 and I don't have it all but I have at least half of everyone's list, plus enough extras to last throughout this year and maybe into next year! Thanks so much for posting!
