School Supplies!!

I love this time of year when I can get school supplies for cheap!!!

Until tomorrow, you can get pencils, folder and Purell for 1 penny. They also have 3 ring binders for 25 cents. Since I am a homeschooler, I have a teacher reward card, this allowed me to get double the limit of stuff. So for about $2.50 we got: 20 2-pocket folders; 4 Purell; 4 pks of pencils; and 8 3 ring binders. Since Staple's is less than a mile from us, I might make another trip this afternoon and maybe tomorrow too. LOL

I also hit Walmart school supplies yesterday. Last year, we purchased about 300 notebooks for 10 cents each--not all at once, I would get about 100 each time. We might have gotten more than 300 but I don't remember. This year notebooks are 5 cents each!! *woot* I bought 50 yesterday (total 2.50). I will probably get more as time goes on. My little boys like to draw in these and for 5 cents each---I say, Draw Away!!

I don't get a lot of school stuff until Target has its big clearance. Then we tend to load up on scissors and other stuff like that.

Not to figure out where to put all this stuff. Hmmm....

Walmart 6/10/2008

I don't often shop at Walmart unless I need something non-grocery related. I find that I can do better at Food Lion or Sam's for general grocery things. Plus, Walmart is always so busy that I just don't like going there. But since I started reading at http://moneysavingmom.com/ I thought that maybe I could get at least some deals there. Above are the results of my first "coupon trip" to Walmart.

3 jars of pickles

2 trial sizes of body wash

2 4-pks of yogurt

1 dental floss

1 3.5 lb bag of cat food

index cards, box and labels--not part of the deal just stuff I needed. LOL

Total before coupons: 20.64

Coupons: 12.00

Total oop: 9.74

The pickles were 1.08-1.88 amd I had 3 $1 off coupons.

The body wash was .97 and .79--again used $1 q's

The yogurt was 1.98--$1 coupons

Dental floss was .97--$1 coupon

Cat food 3.98 and used $4 coupon

Walmart takes off the full amount rather than adjusting down like other places do so some of the things had overages.

Not too bad. I wish that more of the deals posted elsewhere had worked but prices here in Savannah are a little higher than other places I guess. I might need to do more coupon shopping at Walmart.
