Your turn: How are you coming along on your school supply shopping?
About Carrie Rocha
Really disappointed in Target and Walmart this year (compared to last).
I’m pretty sure I saw 1 subject notebooks for .15 @ Walmart.
This is a great spreadsheet. It would be really interesting/helpful to see it updated with the week’s current prices at each store for the items listed. (IE: This week crayons are .40 at Walmart vs. .25 at Walgreens etc.–I made that up as an example.) I think that would be good bc then you’d know when to pull the trigger on certain (more expensive) supplies. (Esp for things like when buy 2 get one free sounds good but it’s not.)
Can someone comment on where they would shop for school supplies if they were to go to just one location and get it done with coupons? I don’t have time to go to all the different stores and would really just like to shop one store and just use coupons.
THANKS!
I would do Target or Shopko.
Thanks Ali!
Definitely Walmart. Cheapest – even though I hate going there ;-)
Almost done with shopping for supplies, but Walmart was out of the .15 notebooks when I was there last week. Wonder if they restock those? (even stocked up on cardstock poster boards when they were .25 earlier this summer :) )
I went to Staples last night to pick up a bunch of pocket folders for .05 cents, they had no clue what I was talking about.
