Good Sunday Morning to you all!
Today is the start of my Back to School weekly sale searches. If you are not familiar with my madness, I go through all of the major ads that would sell back to school supplies. I select what I feel are the best deals of the week and put them here for you to get. It's as simple as that! This year I want to ask my readers to make recommendations of what they want to see (furniture, storage, USB flash drives, etc.) I can then go off of those recommendations and look up what the best prices are. I guess we are ready to start so lets go!
Tip of the week: As my mom and dad tells me "Don't put all your eggs in one basket". The same rule applies to shopping this week. Don't buy everything you see this week because chances are that most of the deals I post will come along again or it may be cheaper!
Office Max
10 cents for 8pk yellow pencils (limit 3)
25 cents for Office Max brand 4pk glue sticks (limit 3)
1 cent spiral notebook (couldn't locate the limit BUT you have to have a $5 minimum purchase)
NOTE: I asked the manager at my local Office Max and was told teachers could double the limit as long as you have your school ID. (example: limit 3, teachers can get 6)
Office Depot
25 cents for filler paper (limit 3)
$9.99 Scandisk 16GB USB cruzer
Michaels
Buy 2 get 1 free on ENTIRE stock of teacher classroom decor and storage

NOTE: Make sure to download the Michael's APP on your smartphone, you can get electronic coupons you can use. This week there is a 25% off your entire purchase including sale items. (You cannot double your discount with the coupon though.)

NOTE: I LOVE this store! They price match almost anything! Here is the link to their website to see exactly how you can get the better prices from other stores. Ad Match Guarantee
NOTE: These prices will not change and will stay this way throughout Back to school season. This is from the years I have tracked them. :)
STEAL OF THE WEEK: With technology being pushed into classrooms, the uprising need to have storage for all of those crazy cool lessons you teachers design, the best deal is Target's USB. This way you have ways of organizing your files for a subject or school year, or by anything you can think of. I have at least 6 USB sticks because of the years I have accumulated lessons. They always seem to come in handy.
I guess I have given you some motivation to start thinking about school. I am loving vacation still and am not ready to go shopping yet but I may pick up a few flash drives this week. Happy shopping and I will see you with new deals next week!
