Back to School Supply Shopping – Part 2

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
• Tax $.14
• Total $2.14 for all
• BONUS – a coupon for a free 20 oz Coke ($1.39) printed with my receipt!

Walgreens – 7/18 – 7/24
