    I have young kids so I get most of mine at Walmart or Target. If we need something a bit nicer I usually buy it from Michaels craft store.

    Well that's easy enough :) I do shop there too, but it never hurts to ask because some people know secrets that I don't! hehe

    For the most part since we use a charter school I don't buy them since they are given to us at the beginning of the year. And really nice stuff too, we get oil paints, water paints, tempera paints, crayons, markers, sheets of canvas, charcoals, I've got about three years worth of it but it never gets old to have it since we never know when we're going to want to pull them out and use them for a project or just to paint. But I do buy extra markers, crayons and colored pencils.

    Wal-Mart, AC Moore, Michaels, Hobby Lobby, Jo-Ann's. I usually do AC Moore just because of where it is located. I love Hobby Lobby but they are a little drive (not much but just enough that I do not go often).

    well I live so far from everything that I buy online in bulk! I shop here. Last year I got tons and tons of paint for way cheap. I also got so many craft supplies, we have something for everything. I also did not pay to terrible too much either.

    I purchase ours wherever I find them. Some supplies I have to buy at Michael's, like oil paints, special chalks, and painting paper, because Ems used these for her painting classes and still enjoys using them even though we didn't reenroll her for the current session. Other supplies I already have from the arts and crafts I do myself.

    I stock up on crayons, markers, colored pencils, pencils, erasers, and the like in July/August when they are on sale at walmart. Then I buy all my paints, construction paper, paint brushes, and other art supplies at discount school supply all at once so I can get free shipping.
