Sunday Shopping: School Supplies +

My goal is to gather as many free/cheap school supplies as possible to donate. I am hoping to find a "Stuff the bus" type promo in the next month. Otherwise I will just research and figure out what organizations are letting kids "shop" their supplies for school.



CVS

I split up my orders because I wanted to just use one $5 ECB. Unfortunately I had her scan my card last, which caused me to go negative $0.03 when she totaled it out, and since she had already scanned my ECB (and the computer accepted it), I had to grab a CVS tissue. On my 2nd order, there was no issue as I had the the exact ECB needed= no tax!



Order #1

2 notebooks $.99 each

1 scissors $2.99

1 cvs travel tissues $0.33

-$5 ECB

Total $0.32 on a gift card

Earned $1.98 (notebooks) and $2.99 (scissors) in ECBS



Order #2

2 rules $0.99 each

1 scissors $2.99

-$1.98 and $2.99 ecb

Total $0 OOP

Earned $1.98 (rulers) and $2.99 (scissors) in ECBS



Office Max

I found the clearance section by mistake, so I purchased a couple of extras.

3 Highlighters (2 packs) =

3 Protractors

3 Compasses

1 fishy flash card set $1.50

1 09/10 planner $5 (not sure why this was on sale)

Total $7.54 OOP



99 Cent store

I ran back to the 99 cent only store to grab some of the tooth tunes juniors. Quinn loved his new toothbrush and I love that it encourages him to "use" it longer. 1 cars paper plates, 2 apple cinnanom rice cakes (cookies for Quinn!) and 2 circo (target brand) infant sun hats


Walgreens

I found various packaging tape marked down at a few local walgreens, one of them had the Tear By Hand variety for $0.87 each and I found a $0.50 MQ here!

5 Scotch Packagin Tapes $0.87 - $0.50 MQ= $0.37 each

Total OOP $2.12 on a gift card.


Target

I ran back to pick up a RX and check to see if I could find any 4th of July stuff at 90% off. My store was cleaned out of 90% deals. I did snag 2 more of the sesame street placemats at 75% off now (all black dot except batteries are 75% off). Next time I am there, I will return my $0.50 placemats. :-)


2 Sesame street place mats $.25 each

Total OOP $0.54

    Thanks! I do feel lucky that we have a 99 cent only store near by. They are the best for random finds and produce!!
