Back to School, The Early Bird Edition

School is not out just yet, so how can it be time to go back to school already?!  I checked the school supply list for next year and our supplies will be over $100.00 if we buy from a school supply company that furnishes everything in one box, and that does not include the cost of supplies for “specials” like Art, French, Music.

I started preparing for back to school 2016 last year, when I noticed book covers were required in 6th grade and they were on deep clearance in September.  Score.  I have a box in the closet for future school years so I know I can find the items I buy in advance.

If you want to play along with saving on school supplies, I will post items as I find them.

Next week (5/29/16 – 6/4/16) Office Depot/Office Max is offering a ream of copy paper for .01 cent.  You may purchase up to 3.  We need 1 ream of paper for our school supply list.  The catch is that you do need to submit a rebate, and if you are the kind of person that never gets around to filling in forms, this would not be a good deal for you.  I know I will get the rebate filled out, so I am looking forward to checking another item off our list!  I received next week’s sales flyer via email.  If you don’t see it on the website yet, check back on Sunday.
