Staples: Score 25 School Supplies for UNDER $10
It’s time to stock up on all your Back to School needs! As I posted this weekend, both Staples and Office Depot/OfficeMax are once again offering up awesome deals on back to school items. In fact, I was just able to snag all the items pictured above for UNDER $10 at Staples! Here’s how I did it and how you can too…

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.
Have a family member buy and ship? Post office has a special flat rate box for APO
Have you checked Amazon?
I hope some people are finding deals because I sure haven’t! Staples has been out of almost EVERYTHING that’s been on sale and office depot is in the middle of a personal road rage area, so I avoid it, at all costs. I would rather over pay anywhere else than drive through every moron in town!
Walmart & Target will price match items except for the store brand items.
Does anyone know if they take expired rewards
I’ve read somewhere that if you call customer service they will reissue the rewards. It’s worth a shot. 😀
The one subject notebooks are 17¢ at my Wal-Mart, picked up a whole box for a tad over $3. I’m not sure if there is a quality difference but I’ve been using Wal-Mart brand since I was a kid all the way through college and now my kids use them. They work well.
I am so annoyed. My girl’s school asks for certain name brands for all of their supplies. I cannot catch a break!
Yes but unless they go to a private school, they can’t force you to buy name brand stuff. I live in a very well off school district and they put down name brand stuff but it’s just a suggestion. Parents all buy different brands and the schools never complain.
Agreed! Unless she goes to a private school – buy whatever is the best deal!
Luckily brands like Crayola are at their lowest prices.
My school asked for specific brand markers, pencils, and scissors. I have to say that I completely understand the request for Crayola markers…. I have tried the name brand ones in the past and I spent more money replacing them (dry) than if I had grabbed a deal on crayola. I opted for the .25 scissors instead of the ones the list required be cause I know that they will be my daughter’daughter’s personal scissors, so I’m willing to take the risk of having to replace them.
What I love is when they ask for different items from one year to the next: wooden ruler this year, plastic ruler next; pointy-tipped scissors one year, blunt tipped the next. That’s when I began taking their specific requests with a grain of salt.
Seriously, they need to appreciate any contribution a parent makes. School supplies can be expensive especially if you have multiple kids. When I went to school 35 years ago, all we needed was a backpack and a pencil!
Exactly! Plus right now it seems like all the schools are putting the classroom school supply stuff together that the kids bring. So I pick and choose what to get named brand and what not. Somethings don’t matter what company they’re from, they work equally as well as the higher end.
I have the same problem and feel like 80 pencils of ticonderoga brand for a 1st grader is a little extreme. Also 12 dry erase markers. please it is ridiculous. I would pay $150 per child if I filled to there exact specifications so I just get what I can and they can kiss my white arse.
LOL 😁 Exactly!
Aren’t the dry erase markers for the teacher?
