Awesome List! Rep'd ya!

I have 3 in grade school, so I will definitely be checking this list often.

Thank you for the list! Do you think the prices on Sharpies are as low as they will go this year? I'm hoping for a penny or five cent deal, but I'm probably dreaming.

I've never really followed the price of Sharpies before. I didn't realize they were that expensive. I would think that Walgreens may possibly do a 3/$1 sale. But, $0.50 a piece looks to be about average right now.

ETA: I checked Pennywatcher's thread from last year:
How low did it go - Back to school 2007

Walgreens had them 3/$1 last year.

Thanks Eisor! I'll hold out a little before stocking up. I need black ones and it looks like the Walgreens deal is only on colors right now anyway.

Oh this list just ROCKS! Thanks for doing that!!!

I just came back from my Superwalmart and the notebooks were .70 a piece (or so said the shelf tag) are they scanning differently? I didn't think to go find a scanner.

The ad on their website for my zipcode said they were $0.05 a piece. May be worth looking up your ad online.

I personally don't shop at Walmart all that often. So, I don't konw what they are ringing up.

This is an awesome list! I have a quick question. Where do you look for previews of next weeks store ads? I have looked on several store sites and cannot find previews anywhere.

Thanks for all the work on this list. I will put it to good use. As a teacher, I buy supplies for my children and for my classroom. This is very helpful to me.

You can see previews here at HCW for a bunch of the stores on their respective forum. I pretty much just compiled what I read in all the other threads into one thread here.

I added the Publix sales to the list.

Please note that I will be out of town for a week. So, I'll update when I get back.
