Back to School Supplies~~Walmart Style!

[tammyinwv]

I think the Papermate mechanical pencils for .19 at Wags would be worth price matching. But other than that ITA. I also think Walmart is higher this year than in years past. Will they come down some before school? I know I have usually gotten the best deals around this time of the year before.

I didnt see the pencils on the flyer posted in the wags forum. Am I missing something? I have a daughter in the nursing program who could really use these.

That ad expires today (or yesterday depending on where you live) and I'm not sure if they even had 5 pack's at Walmart.

What I want to know, as a teacher and probably a mom one day, is why the 12ct Crayolas cost so much more than the 24ct?! Makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

FYI coming from a teacher: Email your child's teacher and ask if they can have the 24ct box because, well, it's cheaper. LOL Usually the teachers will budge (be aware that some may make the students throw out/take home the "extra" crayons)... especially since those 24ct boxes are the ones we keep in the closet for spares!

As a teacher I would like to add a few things that are not on the list that I know get requested:
Ziploc bags
Hand Sanitizer
Lysol Wipes
I'd love to see what the Crayola Dry Erase Crayons best price is... (these may be great as they do not dry out)..
And PLEASE .. PLEASE.. PLEASE..
If you are a parent purchasing school supplies DO NOT buy the cheap pencils (Penway or whatever CVS brand is) They break ALL the time and the lead falls out they are a complete frustration to the student and teacher!!! (the poor kid never gets to use the pencil because it is broken all the time) This also goes for those cute pencils that stores like WAGS offer 8/$1 with the holiday theme on them. The design is a sticker and it breaks the pencil sharpener.
Dixon and Ticonderoga seem to work the best.

Ticonderoga is the brand I bought my kids this year because they had the antibacterial whatever quality to them I'm all about less germs.
