There are a lot of Back to School Deals this week.  Go here to see why I purchase all of these school/office supplies.

Walgreens has some great back to school deals this week. Most of these deals do not have a limit this week so stock up!! Here is what I purchased:


1 pack Multi-Purpose Paper 400 sheets $1.99

1 Wooden Ruler $.09

1 Pencil Box $.49

3 packs Pilot G2 Pens $.19 each after IVC coupon

4 Highlighters $.09 each

2 Liquid Paper $.59 each

3 packs Eraser Caps $.39 each

3 packs Pink Erasers $.29 each

1 Glue Sticks 3 pack $.49

2 packs Bic Highlighters $.49 each

Total Out of Pocket = $8.19

Target has a few good back to school deals this week. Here is what I purchased:


4 boxes Crayola Crayons 24ct. $0.25 each

1 pair Target Children's Scissors $0.50

2 packs Bic Pens $0.60 each (used $1/2 coupon)

Total Out of Pocket = $1.70

I also went to K-Mart this week for some of their back to school deals. I am not a big fan of K-Mart and I usually avoid the store but I thought I would check out the back to school deals. This is the first time in a very long time that I went to K-Mart and they had everything on my list and I didn't have any issues at the register! Here is what I purchased:


4 boxes Crayola Crayons 24ct. $0.25 each

2 boxes Pencils $0.25 each

4 Elmers Glue Sticks 2ct. $0.25 each

3 packs Fine Tip Crayola Markers $1.00 each

Total Out of Pocket = $5.50

I went to Staples this week and I was very disappointed. This year you have to make a minimum $5.00 purchase to get the $0.01 deals.  I won't go into all the details but my transaction was a disaster and I ended up having to return everything and repurchase it. I spent more money than I intended and so I think I will skip the office stores and just shop for Back to School deals at CVS, Walgreens & Target. Here is what I purchased:


2 packs Index Cards $.25 each

2 Pencil Boxes $.25 each

1 Dry Erase Board $2.00

2 Rose Art Markers 10ct. $1.00 each

2 packs Bic Mechanical Pencils $.25 each

2 Staples School Glue $.01 each

Total Out of Pocket = $5.52

Connor & I went to Dollar Tree this week to look for cheap wooden spoons to make our soda bottle bird feeder.  We didn't find wooden spoons but I found this Betty Crocker Spatula and I really needed a new spatula!

Total Out of Pocket = $1.00


I didn't do any grocery shopping this week except for milk at Aldi ($2.66).  Our pantry & freezer are very well stocked right now so I just didn't need any groceries.


Total Money Spent this Week = $19.07
