Here's a peak at what I bought yesterday at Staples in my first back-to-school shopping trip this year! I was a little disappointed because a few of Staples “fantastic back-to-school savings” were really only a few pennies less or even more than the prices already were at Walmart, so I'll be checking prices at the office supply stores against this list pretty closely before shopping the rest of the year.
(Remember, everyone's going to be claiming to have the best deals this back-to-school season ~ your goal is to KNOW what the best prices are so you don't pay too much!)
Here's what I bought:
Bought 3 Crayola Markers 10 pack $.97 (regular price $1.27 at Walmart)
Bought 4 Composition Notebooks $.50
Bought 2 glue stick 4-packs $1.25 (2-packs were $.50 at Walmart – ugh! I knew they would be cheaper through the season but my kids convinced me they needed them . . . )
Bought 1 set sticky tabs $2 (these were also $1 at Walmart or at the Dollar Tree – ugh!)
Bought 1 pack 3-pack pink erasers $.96 (2-packs were $.50 at Walmart)
Bought 1 pack copy paper
- Used $3.98 Staples Ream Paper coupon
- Paid $14.35 out of pocket, will submit for $3.80 easy rebate
- Total = $10.55 after rebate
