Where do you find the best deals on school supplies? Walmart? Office Depot? Our school offers to assemble the stuff for the kids, but it's incredibly expensive, so I didn't do it this year (3 kids at the school).

What can I do next?

Well, Walmart definitely has good prices on school supplies. For example, I think I paid 22 cents for a bottle of glue!
I also bought some of my twins' supplies at Dollar Tree.

Try Big Lots or Family Dollar stores. I hope there's one in your area. They both carry brand names like Crayola and usually are $2-3 less than other stores.

well definitely watch the sunday ads - i have been getting the kids supplies very cheap w/great deals! Staples and Walgreens have good sales as well as Officemax - Walmart is cheapest for everyday low price if things are not on sale...

last week Staples had folders for free! limit 10 - i know those normally are 10 cents so big woop but it adds up! so i kept going back and i have 40 folders for free!!! (stocked up! lol) also walgreens had a super sale that same week - and i got 10 pk pens for 9 cents, dry erase markers, highlighters for 9 cents - everything i bought "pre-coupon (from the ad) was $22 - i walked out paying only $6.00!!! total!!!

so just check the ads - you will find something cheaper somewhere!

Office Max has been advertising school supplies for $0.01 so you might want to check there.

I agree, Staples has some awesome sales - nine, ten, twenty cents... I have no idea what their normal prices are, but if you go during a sale it is like hitting the school supply jackpot.

Also, Target has some pretty good sales, too, but not as good as Staples.
