I just have to say in the photo the mechanical pencils at the top instead of beside the other two packages drive me crazy when I look at it! Lol
Love the deals though! Thanks! 🙂
This is too funny. It drives me crazy too! Lol
HAHA!!!! me three!!!!
Is that possible I’m in college and need that but what if my Utah store is out
They have been restocking mid week. If they are out, ask when their next shipment comes in. I went in on Tuesday for last week’s sale and they were out of some sale items and they told me to come back on Friday when their shipment came in. Everything was in stock and got 3 of each item for each one of my little ones. HTH
Are the Ticonderoga pencils just 1$, or do I need a coupon?
No coupon and no limit for the pencils
Limit 3 for mechanical pencils for me. Mansfield ohio
I am going to Staples tomorrow and hope to get this deal for my two granddaughter’s. Thank you for sharing.
Dumb question – can you price match the non Office Depot brands at Staples for their 110% guarantee? Like the pencils and sharpies? Thanks!!!
I have price match these office depot deals at staples before you shouldnt have any problem
I successfully price matched the pencils but my staples pulled all theor single sharpies, so I couldn’t price match them. You only save .10 on the pencils because they are on sale for $2
for the ticonderoga pencils,, my staples had them for $2.99, so they ended up being $0.80, which is a great price for a 12-pk for ticonderoga!
Can you price match the office max colored paper for $4.00 for staples brand colored paper at staples or does it have to be same brand?
I just called my store in SSF, CA because I had the same question and they said no. The item has to be the exact brand and quantity to be price matched. Hope this helps.
Which store has the tricondergo pencils for $1.00?
To price match do you need the competitors sales ad?
officemax/office depot has triconderoga pencils 12 pk. for $1. staples is $2-$2.99, so you can 110% price match, and yes you’ll need the ad. Hope that helps Kate 🙂
Just read the post again and saw it was Office Depot
I think I’m gonna go do this and donate it.
Does anyone know of any stores that have good prices on school supplies online with free shipping? Oh and ship APO? I just looked at the px and the list for my kindergartener is almost $40. Glue sticks are $1.79 for two little ones 🙁 by Collins price points my list is half that.
Quad composition notebooks are also only $1! Maybe that’s not best price on those, but I’m new to this back-to-school deal shopping, so I’m thrilled! I need those for my classes and usually end up paying full price.
Thanks for the post, Collin! I got all the deals you showed and will be donating most of it to the school supplies drive at work.
I did this deal, but had to substitute the compasses and a Sharpe for something else, (a $1.00 item)and since I was getting the $.01 pencils, I wasn’t going to pay $1 for more pencils. So I got the 8 pack of glue sticks for $2 which is a good deal ($.25 each)
