Office Max has $0.01 notebooks, with a limit of 3 per customer, so Raina, Jackson and I each got 3. Can't beat 9 notebooks for $0.09!
Shopko had folders for $0.10 each, notebooks for $0.19 each, markers for $0.99 or $1.29, crayons for $0.20, glue for $0.20. They also had Scotch glue stick 2 packs for $0.59 each, I used a $0.50/2 coupon, making each 2-pack $0.34. And Bic pens were $0.89 each. I bought 4 packs and used 2 $1/2 coupons, making each pack $0.39.
At Target (which was way busier than Shopko) we got lunch boxes for both kids (Raina picked one with princesses on it, Jackson's is blue with a water bottle included), 2 boxes of 64 crayons at $1.70 each, 3 little calculators at $1 each, and more crayons and markers.
We also stocked up on socks and underwear for the family--even Diego and Sesame Street for Remy. I plan to work on potty training once school starts. $50 on socks/underwear doesn't sound like a great deal, but it was 5 packs of underwear total and 4 packs of socks.
Some non-school deals:
Cover Girl blush was $3.79-$1 Target coupon-$1 mfg. coupon=$1.79.
Kotex Lightdays were $2.70-$2 Target coupon-$1 mfg. coupon=$0.05 money maker.
Twix/Snickers/3 Musketeers candy bars are $0.52 each; I bought 6=$3.12-buy one get one free Target coupon=$2.60-3 $1/2 mfg. coupons=$0.40 money maker.
We also got some clothes and shoes for the kids. Raina likes sparkly, stars, butterflies on her clothes. Jackson likes jeans and tees.
Overall, not exactly a bargain shopping day, but there were some bargains here and there. They're mostly ready now, except I need to figure out where to get a nap mat for Raina (who hasn't napped since she was 2 years old, but I guess she'll be able to use the down time in the middle of a long day at school.)
