Whew, so my "Britas Are Coming, Britas Are Coming" post timing worked out. The British Royal Couple some of us have been waiting for longingly, have finally arrived in California. I've been waiting for this for months, just like something else that FINALLY happened this week. Yes, more spectacular than the shuttle Atlantis lift off today it's the official Back To School Shopping Season!
It is now time to throw caution to the wind and head back to the stores to stock up. However, be wary, prices for all items are NOT at their lowest yet. Here is what you can buy right now:
Fred Meyer
Crayola Crayons: $.25 Limit 4
Glue (orange top/Elmer's): $.25 Limit 3 (From https://savingstar.com/ if you use the $.75 off two it's a potential money maker; just follow the Saving Star rules)
Spiral Notebooks: $.15 Limit 10 (this price will probably go lower to $.11 or $.10)
Composition books: $.25 (I use these for work and I don't remember them being on sale last year)
3x5 cards: $.33 (I didn't see a limit)
Erasers: $.33
Folders: $.15
Colored Pencils: $.99 (I think these will get down to $.89)
WAIT for lower prices on these:
Rulers
Pencil cases
Pencils
MARKERS (WAIT FOR THESE TO BE $.99 at least!!)
Scissors
ShopKo is usually the price leader on all of this stuff so I was surprised when Fred's came out first. Following their Free Admission Discovery Center of Idaho Fridays, they have upped their ante in what they give to local education initiatives. Coming out as the first to do back to school sales at these prices is a sure sign of their overall commitment to education.
If you are able to, participate in a little S.O.S. In my world, that means buy up to your limit (every time you enter the store) and then dump an enormous pile of Crayola Crayons on Principal Lovelace's desk.
Welcome to the USA Duke and Duchess of Cambridge!
