First off my best buddy Sherry called me this morning and informed me to get to Staples they had FREE pencils and rulers today. I am not one to pass up free LOL. I went there and bought my FREE pencils but the rulers where no where to be found. I did get eight 1" binders and 4 report covers. I spent a whopping two dollars and something. Next stop Goodwill. I spent a whole fiver! I got a brand new math CD for ages 6-9. A brand new package of beginning readers (30 of them) Owen used to bring the exact ones home from school. A wipe off time teaching book that I paid 99 cents for and it had a $12.00 price tag still on it. It is really awesome and goes into detail about time telling. 3 25 piece puzzles. The hardcover book of Treasure Island. I also picked up a unit study on Greece and Rome from a lady one Free-cycle. So I had a pretty good and cheap shopping adventure.
Wow what a great day you had! I don't know if they still have it, but around here Wal-Mart had 70 page, perforated spiral notebooks for a nickel, with no limit on how many you could get. It ends up cheaper buying those than the loose leaf notebook paper anywhere that I could find! I also managed to get those really pretty plastic 3 prong, 2 pocket folders for 15 cents (limit 10) at Staples...that was cheaper than the regular paper folders and they look so much better and will hold up a lot better.
Oh yes! I went and bought a ton of the notebooks at Wal-mart when they first set them out. That is such a great deal! The crayons at Wal-mart are way cheaper too.
HOw fun! I wonder if my staples has that today too? Maybe its time for me to take alittle excursion of my own? I am watching two baby boys, 2 yrs and 7 months for a few days this week, thier mom left them longer than I thought they would need to be here, ad tomorrow will be even longer, she first talked like it was half day but it will be full time! At this point, I am not being paid, I am just watching them for her. They are sweet little guys, but since we do start up school in two weeks or so I think this is going to put a small damper on my days! I want a break, Thanks for STAPLES ideas!
I got those notebooks a few weeks ago. I bought a whole box of college ruled and a whole box of wide ruled.
I was going to take advantage of the two boxes of paper for 15 dollars, but at MY staples it was 29.99 for two boxes, no fair! But I got the pencils, and rulers for free and one more binder that I needed...
really? Maybe I should check there too! I was so excited about this one buy one get one, but gee not for 30! How much did y ou get it for clearance?
It was a little under 3.00 for 500 sheets...Hmmmm maybe not the best deal but at the time it was better then any where else.
