Deal of the day - How to save on school supplies

Summer may have just begun, but I have already started shopping for back to school supplies.  This is a long, and sometimes tedious process for me because I am so CHEAP!  This time of year is great to stock up on gifts and stocking stuffers.  We do a lot of crafting in our house so I stock pile glue sticks, crayons and other supplies for later.  You can also find deals on inexpensive household items for kids going off to college.

Most stores put only a few school supplies on sale for a really good price each week, so in order to get the best deals you have to be willing to shop weekly.

I make a master list of all the supplies the kids need and keep it in my purse.  That way if I come across a deal, I can see if it is something they need.  Then I cross off what I buy as I go.

Another easy way to save on supplies are those empty ink cartridges.  I save mine up the whole year, and turn them all in Staples.  Once you have signed up for their Rewards Program, they pay you $2 per cartridge!  That is free money!  You have to wait a few weeks for the check to come, so round them up and drop them off this week!  Please note they limit you to 10 cartridges per day for a recycle credit.


Most name brand items are worth the money.  There are few generic school supplies that I buy.  For example, generic crayons are not good. Also, I would never buy cheap scissors for kids.  It is hard enough learning how to use them.  If they don't cut well it is even more frustrating.


With all that in mind, here are a few of this weeks deals:


Staples
4-pack Scotch supper glue $2.99-$2.99 rebate so it will be FREE
Ream of Staples multi purpose paper $6.99-$6.74 rebate so it will be $0.25
