This month, I found some great back-to-school deals that are equally great for offices and home use for non-students!
Check out this 42-piece school supplies variety pack at Sam’s Club for just $9.47 with instant $3 off. This is full of mechanical pencils, pens, dry erase markers, Sharpie gel pens, highlighters, permanent markers, a pink pearl eraser, and glue sticks. I love that these are all name-brand items, not the knock-offs you’ll usually see in boxed sets. It’s pretty much everything you need for school (or to stock your home office). Easiest back-to-school shopping ever!
If you don’t belong to Sam’s Club, head over here for a deal that will get you a year-long membership for $25 instead of $50. They consistently have the best gas prices around.
Staples has some excellent back to school bargains, but the key is you have to stick to what’s on sale and stay focused. Their 100-page college-ruled composition notebooks are $.50, usually $3.19. Their 1-subject notebooks are $.35, usually $1.49. Their 2-pocket plastic folders are $.55, usually $2.69.
Everyone needs a backpack for school, and no one needs to pay full price!
I found JanSport Backpacks on clearance online at Sierra for $19.99, usually $40. Sierra is in the same family of brands as Marshalls and TJ Maxx, you might want to look there for deals too!
One place you might not think of to look for great deals on backpacks is Nordstrom. They have their anniversary sale going, and right now you can pick up the highly upgraded Jansport Right Back Signature Backpack for $67.50, usually $90.
Enjoy!
