Classroom Supply Deals

[justkeepswimming]

Like many of us, I provide the vast majority of supplies for my students (due to huge income discrepancies, I like to supply most materials so that everyone starts out on an even playing field), so I spend my summer searching for the best deals.

So far I have snagged $0.25 spiral notebooks at Staples and good deals on highlighters and Sharpies on Prime Day. What good deals have you found?

I got some $.15 folders at Wal-Mart, that will be used to create the supplemental texts for my class. Also 10 ct crayola markers are fifty cents.

I got some decorations for color guard at Target for $10. I also swiped every pen, paper, cup, toilet paper, tissues etc from hotel rooms while on a family trip. I will probably hit up dollar tree for a few other color guard practice batons if they have them this year.

If anyone sees the felt tipped pens go on sale, please let me know. They are the only ones I like to grade with, and they are expensive.

I haven't seen them recently, but Amazon sometimes has these for a decent price on lightning deals.

I actually do not love these but I bought a ton of them a few years ago. I won't be in my classroom for another week, but if I have any left I will send them to you. I think I have blue, green, and purple.

ETA: I can send some to you, too, W.T.Faulkner!
I'll check my supply next week.

Check Walgreens. A bunch of papermate stuff is in sale for $0.99. I didn't look at pens, so I'm not sure if these were one of the sets.

Also, for everyone else- highlighters 5/$1, kid scissors for $0.39, erasers packs 5/$1, crayola markers and colored pencils $0.99 and other stuff. Some items you can see in their ad, but more was marked in store when I went.

These are on sale at Office Depot right now in that exact pack for $8. I don't know how much you usually spend.

After all that, I found 2. Not 2 boxes... 2 pens. Sorry!
