I posted some of the big round ups this morning, but I just got back from my shopping trip and wanted to update you with my shopping list. For a complete list of supplies I am buying for our back-to-school drive click here. In addition to my main list, I have also added a few additional items to my list to help a friend. So, here is how I made out today!
Office Depot – 7/18 – 7/24 – Be sure to print out a $10 off $25 coupon for Office Depot before you go. Plus don’t forget to enter your code from your receipt for your chance to win one of 50 $100 gift cards every day. (I didn’t win, but maybe you will!)
- (5) Purell Hand sanitizer – $4.99 with Mail in Rebate of $4.99 (limit 5) FREE
- (3) Wide-rule note paper – $.25 e
- (2) College-rule note paper – $.25 e (limit 5 note paper packs)
- (2) Disney Color Wonder packs on clearance for $1 e (no, these weren’t on my list but my daughter loves them!)
- – $10 off $25 coupon
- Tax $1.28
- Total $19.48 for all
- Rebate total = $24.95
Look! Again, after rebates I will MAKE $5.47 (even with the extra items not on my list!)
Plus as an extra bonus, Office Depot donates 5% of your school supply total to your choice of local schools to purchase other supplies!
Kmart – 7/18 – 7/24 – I have to say I was a little disappointed with my Kmart stop b/c they had already sold out of a lot of the $.25 items. But I still got a few.
- (4) boxes of 24 Crayola crayons ($.25) – limit 4
- (3) plasic rulers ($.25) – limit 4
- (1) Elmer’s school glue sticks ($.25) – I bought the last one

Walgreens – 7/18 – 7/24 
- (5) Wide-rule spiral notebooks ($.29)
- (2) College-rule spiral notebooks ($.29)

- Colgate toothpaste ($3.49 – $.75 coupon + $3.50 register rewards, so free + $.75!)

- – $5.47 (Office Depot week 2) after rebates
- $2.14 (Kmart total week 2)
- $4.97 (Walgreens total week 2) after RR
- I am still in the positive by $3.97 – WOW!
great work! a little secret about walgreen’s — they don’t put limits on the stuff from the monthly flyer (or at least my cashier didn’t), so i bought all the pilot pens from our local store! $2.74 for pens that i normally would have spent $12.99 on at bj’s!
