Do you use pens, paper, glue, staplers, pencils, erasers, and/or crayons? Most households do and they’re paying way too much!
Every year around this time, many stores start their back-to-school sales. (Yes, I know it’s wicked early!) These sales offer the lowest prices available all year. It’s the only time I buy these items. If you can, try to stock up now so you won’t have to pay full price later.
I find many of my best deals at Staples. There are excellent deals to be had at Office Max as well, but we don’t have it in my area, so I don’t have experience with that store.
Here’s an example of the goodies you can pick up from 7/6-7/12 at Staples:
Staples Multi-Purpose Paper Ream, $7.79
$3.98/1 Staples Paper Ream (Staples In-Ad Coupon)

If you watch prices like I do, you know many of those items are regularly sold for double and even triple price! In addition to Staples, don’t overlook the drugstores.
