First off, I wanted to let my followers know that I have decided to discontinue the Wednesday Website linky. People just weren’t linking up and following. I think I’ll probably still showcase websites from time to time on Wednesdays (and maybe reinstitute my Woohoo Wednesdays too!) but I’m going to take a bit of break.
Next, I have some exciting news for you! I am teaming up with a group of my best blogging buddies to give away a $200 Staples gift card thanks to Coupons.com! As I mentioned in my deals post on Monday, I am cheap! I am a regular couponer and get a thrill from finding great deals. Coupons.com is one of my go-to sites each week so I can stock up on my coupons! They even have online coupon codes that you can use to help you score deals online. Here is their coupons for Staples.com.
They also sent me a $50 gift card that I can use to help me get ready for the school year. I’ve been trying to decide what I want to spend it on. I can use it each week as I stock up on their weekly deals. Or, I could use it to make some of my big purchases for the year. Decisions, decisions.
I know I want my students to have a multi-folder writing system for the year. I’ve been thinking of buying folders when I get good deals and then binding them. But, I saw these on their website and I thought I might just buy them instead of taking all that time and energy.
The technology in my classroom is absolutely non-existent and so I’m also thinking that the gift card would go a long way towards helping me buy a projector. I’ve been pricing them all over and this one at Staples is a great deal. Plus, Acer is a well known technology brand, so I feel like I could trust it.
AND, I have signed up for the Teacher’s Reward program so I know I’d get a great rebate from that. For now, I think I’m going to hold onto it so that I can make sure I find the absolute best deal to spend my money on.

My only son will be going to college next year, so I would put it towards a new laptop!
I would buy a new printer and laminator, as well as a new desk chair! 🙂 Great giveaway!

This is really great!!! As much as teachers spend in their classrooms….we need all the help we can get!! Thanks!!
Oh the possibilities! I would probably use the money to restock on laminating pouches and more organizational tools (crates and drawers and such). One can never be too organized, am I right?
I would use it to purchase composition books, crates to make seats with for the kids,and pencils, pencils, and more pencils! Thanks for the chance to win 🙂

I print a ton of stuff at home, so a new printer would really be appreciated!
I'm saddened to have read that Wednesday Website Linky will no longer be held. It's too bad. I was enjoying it. 🙁 No worries, I understand. 🙂
As for the wonderful giveaway that you're hosting here….all I have to say is, "Wow!!! That's one hot giveaway!" Thanks! If I had a chance to win, I'd get myself a laptop. The one I have now has seen better days.
Thanks…..Najda
Oh my goodness! What would I buy? Supplies for my kiddos! It is what I do every year, but this year, to have some help…ah! It would be awesome! I go to Staples every Sunday for the Back to School deals — I love them! Maybe I would splurge on a nice binder for me, too! Mine always rip towards the end of the year.

I would buy school supplies and/or, possibly, a new printer.

I need a scanner. Maybe the Epson Perfection® V500 Photo Flatbed Scanner.
I would LOVE to win this card!
Oh Tessa – you know the Resource Room will finally get the rest of the Storex file drawers that we need for our guided reading files! Thanks for hosting! Lori K
There is so much I could buy! I would get basic school supplies for my students to use, printer ink, binders to get my materials organized better, crates, & so much more!
Thanks!

I think I would put a gift card towards one of those nifty binding machines…I have a personal laminator and it's amazing!
Either that or glue sticks…I can NEVER have too many glue sticks!
I'm a teacher so this will come in very handy.
I would use the gift cards to buy comfy seating for my students like pillows and stools. I would also buy extra supplies for my students.

I would buy binders. I love how binders keep me organized and I can find what I need very quickly.

I would buy some storage drawers and containers, as well as an "e-printer" so I could print from my iPad! Thank you for offering this fabulous giveaway!
There are so many possibilities! I would probably get extra school supplies and maybe look into a personal laminator.

I have really been wanting a laminator so definitely one of those and a some laminating sheets!
I would buy binders galore for sure. I'm trying to further organize myself this year and I keep looking for deals on binders. I also need some more 3 bin organizers.
I would love to purchase some more of the magazine files that I use for 'handing in' student work.

Oooooo…pretty organizing things, a new desk chair, laminating sheets….
I would probably buy organizational stuff – I am definitely organizationally challenged, lol! I may also buy some journals for the kids.
Teachin' First
I would buy a personal laminating machine!! Then I would probably need some more ink for all the things I want to print and laminate.
Probably ink cartridges and card stock to print all these wonderful TPT products!! Oh, and maybe laminating sheets 🙂
pc**********@gm***.com
The options are endless…… Ink…pens….paper….laminating machine….prizes….
I'd spend the gift card on supplies for my sister in law who is a 2nd grade teacher and some supplies for my Etsy shop. Thanks for the opportunity!
