School Supply Deals for July 21
Ready for another week of Back to School shopping? I’m trying to mentally prepare. As much as I never ever thought I’d say it, I’m tired of shopping. I’m tired of going to 7 places each week, and going to places multiple times a week, and I haven’t even really bought school supplies. I’ve just bought stuff. I’m tired. Alas, there’s more to do so I’m getting my list ready.
I do want to add a disclaimer that I don’t think I included last week. There are many, many, many school supplies on sale each week. I include those that I think are decent deals. I could not possibly list everything that’s on sale, nor do I particularly pay attention to something if it isn’t a good deal. Also, thank you to all of you who let me know about deals that I was missing. I’ll try to amend posts to include the information from readers. However, the comment response has been AH Mazing and I was not able to keep up. But, honest, I thank each and every one of you for reading and commenting.

I wish we had a Menard's down here. Thankfully, there's one right near my parents! (Guess who is making a phone call to her mom today. 🙂 )
Oh, then you could have her do two sets of the mail in rebates- one delivered to your address and one delivered to hers! 🙂
This makes me want to go to every store and buy it all! Thank you for sharing! 🙂

And my Menard's had an extra 15% off if you brought in the bag from today's newspaper. Although, they didn't have the larger scissors 🙁

We had the bag deal last week. Darn!
Just got back from Target. At the front of our store, they had a ton of teacher supplies for just $1.00. Such as, packs of name tags, packs of Dr. Seuss pencils, erasers, bookmarks. Also, packs of 415 stickers and .17 spiral notebook (70 page.
I love saving money and feeling like a got a great deal! Thanks for posting these other savings!

Yes, their $1 spot is a good area too.

I've never heard of menard's!!
They're Chicago based I think. It's like a Home Depot kinda- but seriously, they carry the most random stuff. They have food (mainly snacks) and some clothing (just some basic tees and flip flops).
Target also has Elmer's glue sticks, 6 pack for $0.99! And a 4 pack, multicolored sharpie highlighters for $1.
