    Just went into Office Max and asked about the index cards for $0.10 this week, and the associate said that is next week. Anyone else have this issue?

  2. Deanna Line says:

    Lakeville, MN – we figured it out now – it is the online-in store coupons that are needed to get the pricing.

    A few you are missing on this week’s deals:
    Office Depot has Protractors (limit 3) and Pencil Pouches/Bags (limit 5) for 5cents each (maybe you listed under Office Max in error??). According to your sheet this would be the lowest price so far for Protractors.

    Also, Staples has Highlighter2pack, #2Pencils8pack and IndexCards100pack for 1cent (limit 2 on each of those) with another $5 purchase. These would all be considered your cheapest price of the season so far in those categories (if you make the $5 purchase).

    To hit the $5 at Staples I just bought a Subway gift card – they have a variety of gift cars (Starbucks, Olive Garden, Kohls, Marshalls, etc).

    walgreens has a 10 pack of scissors for 5$ this would work well for a multi-family or for someone who looses their scissors alot- guilty as charged:)

  5. Sherry says:

    Has anyone seen a 10-pack of multi-colored two pocket folders? Target has carried these in the past, but I have checked there twice and can’t find them. I also looked at Walmart this last weekend, but no such luck. :(

      Sherry, if you live near an Office Depot you can get folders for $.05 each this week. They have a terrific assortment of colors. Limit 10.

  6. Michelle says:

    You meed to add Menards to your school supply’s list. They can beat most of the prices shown. Look in Sterling / Dixon IL 61021 store.

  7. Michelle says:

    Thanks for the list… Are these natonal prices or found by zip codes?

    I think it is the upper right corner?

    Anyone have any idea where the best back pack deals are this week? Can’t seem to find anything good! Thanks :)
