School Supply Scavenger Hunt

 Office Max has some of the best deals this time of year, the trick is to be patient and cash in on their deals each week! Above is the deal I scored today (7/23/12) - 7 pocket expanding file for Drew (was listed as $5 but rang up $4.30) and 20 FREE pencils!

 Last week I scored some FREE folders at Office Max. The black plastic folder was $1.00, .25 for the glue stick 4 packs and FREE folders. I also bought some composition notebooks on this trip to get my total to $5 for the free folders!

 WAGS always has the deals, again you just have to be patient and buy things when the best deal is available. Today (7/23/12) we saved a TON! Pencil boxes .69 each, .19 highlighters, .99 scissors, .39 erasers.

I love giving my students composition notebooks at the begnining of the year to use for personal journals, even better if I can get them in different colors! Office Max had these on sale for .50 last week. You could only buy 5 at a time so it took me two trips to get the 10 I have here :) I know other stores will offer these for this low price, I am sure I'll be able to get my class set for a great price before school starts!!

So here is what has been spent so far for the 2012-2013 school year:

Drew:
2 erasers = .39
1 pair of scissors = .99
Glue Sticks (6 small) =.38
2 highlighters = .38

pencil top erasers = .20
Total to date = $7.42

5 pocket folders = FREE
1 pair of scissors = .99
Glue sticks (6 small) = .38

Pencil top erasers = .20
Total to date = $3.03

My Classroom
10 Composition Notebooks = 5.00
15 Pocket Folders = FREE
2 Highlighters = .38
1 Plastic Folder = 1.00

My goal is to spend less than 20 on each kid for their school supply list :-) I'll be posting after each trip to keep track!! I'll try to post at the beginning of the week so you can cash in too!
