School Supplies

It is one of my favorite times of year... back to school shopping! Since I was little, I have always loved the excitement of getting new supplies for school. New pencils, pens, and notebooks are my favorite! (I should have know I'd end up as a teacher.)

You should have all recieved a 1st Grade Supply list in your child's last report card. Just in case you lost it, click on this link to find it.

Since buying school supplies can be expensive (especially if you have more than one child), now is a great time to start. Many office supply stores have great deals! For example, Office Depot has plastic Duotang folders with prongs for 25 cents and Staples has #2 pencils for a penny! It doesn't get better than that!

Another good idea is to find other parents to share the cost with and buy in bulk. You can find pencils, copy paper, baby wipes, tissues, Clorox wipes, Post-It notes, Expo markers, and labels at Costco or BJ's.

Here are some great links to check weekly to see what is on sale:

www.staples.com
www.officemax.com
www.target.com

Happy Shopping!
