School supply deals have started!

Melinda emailed last week and asked when school supplies sales normally start.  And well, based on yesterday’s ads, they’ve already started!

You can expect to see lots of super-cheap school and office supply sales for the next month or two.  Typically, office supply stores have the best deals, but most are “while supplies last” and often sell out on Sunday or Monday, so be ready to jump on the deals you want.  Many are also free-after-rebate type deals.

Sometimes you can also price-match at Walmart (or Target, potentially, though it’s a little more hassle), so if you can’t make it into the office supply stores soon after the sale starts, that can be an option!

I’ll try to keep you posted on the best sales starting next week, but for this week, here are links to the office supply store ads:

• Office Depot – free stapler, markers and cheap paper after rebate
• Staples – 1¢ folders, pencils and 1¢ paper ream after rebate
• Office Max – not much of anything, really!
• Target – cheap markers and glue sticks
