1 Cent Sale Begins Sunday July 6~~

I don't know if it's been mentioned or not (I didn't read the entire thread) but it's always nice to load up on school supplies that are really cheap to donate to the school. Even if it's a few weeks into the year. When all the school supplies go down to 90% off I buy a lot of book bags, notebooks & folders with whatever characters are popular at the time. Didn't have much money growing up but I remember my mother always sprang for the more expensive folders & stuff rather than the plain ones & it did make it more fun.

I give the things to my son's teachers & let them give them to the kids who need them.

That is so sweet biggins! I love back to school shopping...

I just got back from staples, they had two kinds of pencils for .01, an 8 and 12 pk. So you can get all 4 for .04. Im totally loving this. I heard somewhere they have .01 items every week or something. does anyone know?

Their Roseart 8 pack of markers are .99 and their small pack of Roseart crayons were .39. Not great. But, I "needed" some this week.

Wow, we went today and I was surprised at the number of parents who were waiting outside the doors for the penny items (I know because I asked a few if that's why they were there) but also loaded up their carts with other supplies. I guess that's how they make money. DH needed the highlighters so he paid 5.48 after tax for the FAR highlighters, two packs of pencils, ten pocket folders and two Purell. I paid .15 for ten pocket folders, 2 packs of pencils and two Purell.

I got 2 of the penny pencil packs, 2 purell, and 5 of the folders.

I also got the hi-lighters that have the rebate.

And one pack of photo pages to add to my coupon binder. They cost 3.49, and I had a cartridge coupon! Yay!

We ended up with 40 folders, 8 packs of 8 pencils, and 8 little bottles of Purell for 60 cents! DH and I went to 2 different Staples and both stores had tons of supplies left.

Don't you just love it! I took both of my children and they got one pack of pencils, two hand sanitizer's, 10 folders, and 4 1inch notebook's and each of them spent....DRUM ROLL PLEASE.....$1.22.

They couldn't believe it. I tease them alot about picking up pennies I find them when I'm out and about. I pick them up and put them in my pocket. Just on last night I found 14 cents on the ground.....It all adds up.

The guy at the counter told us to look in next week's paper for more one cent deals. They will have the notebook paper for one cent next week. Yahoooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

Thanks for your thread....

There was no line whatsoever for me. It was like a ghost town! I'll go back tomorrow to get some of the .25 cent binders since I forgot about them.
