      I know what you mean, I like hibachi.

  2. Christine

    Anyone see any deals on bigger binders? I need 2 3 inches and a 5 inch!

    • amy111

      Office max carries 3″, but they are like $11. Sometimes the thrift stores carry larger binders, and I’ve grabbed them at yard sales because they are so pricey.

      • amy111

        I checked Meijer today. They have them a bit cheaper and b1g1 50% off. Good luck!

    • Helen in Meridian

      Sis found nice zip binders for $2.88 or $2 something at Walmart. She then saw the same thing at Costco for closer to $10.

    • momsince2010

      The shelf signs at my Target were wrong today for the big binders. They had Avery 3″ at 2.49 for a couple of colors. It rang up at 8.49, but I took a picture of the tag on the shelf showing the matching numbers and they changed it.

    I found crayons at Walmart for 1.97$ for 24 count. so compare prices.

  5. Rhonda

    Christine try Sam’s Club. They bigger binders in I believe a 3 pack for a price.

  6. Cassandane

    Any better deals on the Crayola paint 8-ct? My kids want to give those for Valentines Day (no food gifts due to class allergies) so I was hoping for find for $1. TIA!

    • Stacy

      Not yet, Cassandane, but we most likely will. I’d definitely hold out if you don’t need them until Valentine’s Day.

      These paints are $1.97 at Walmart or Target throughout back to school shopping season, and Staples does a 110% match, so you can pull up Target or Walmart’s $1.97 price and after the extra 10% discount, you’ll get them for $1.77.

    • lizee

      target is selling the crayola water colors for $1.60

      • Lisa Leaman

        Walgreens has the paint for $.99 right now

    • Mamamia

      I often find the playschool and crayola washable paints at dollar tree!

  7. Sallee Nash

    Ticonderoga pencils are $3 for 24 count at our Kroger store Frys here in Phoenix AZ

    • Holly (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing!

    .35 seems high for the folders. Should I hold out before buying some? I’m planning to buy a large number of them.
