One of my favorite things of "Back to Homeschool" is the Back to School Shopping Season! I admit I am a "office supply, school supply" addict! I love love love Office Supplies and School Supply stuff, especially when you can get it soooo cheap!
I was very disappointed in the Back to School Sales this year, the prices weren't as good as previous years, at least not until the last couple of weeks. I was getting little things here and there, but in the last 2 weeks I was able to really "stock up"! The stores I mainly shopped at this year and have the best Back to School sales every year are: Walgreens, Staples, Office Depot and Office Max. The Office stores have lots of penny and nickel deals during BTS.
So here is what I purchased this year:

1 6pk Bic Retractable Highlighter ($1 at Staples)

1 Avery Easy Peel Address Labels (750 labels) ($2 at Staples)
1 Drawing Pad ($1 at Dollar Tree)
1 Post it Note 12pk ($1 at Staples)

4 pks of Expo Washable Markers (Free after coupon at Walgreens)
24 Mini Spirals (purse sized) (.15¢ each at Walgreens)
5 Clear Pencil Pouches (.5¢ each at Office Depot)
1 Pencil Box (.57¢ at WalMart)
2 1/2 sized Pencil Boxes (.25¢ each at WalMart)
1 4pk Dry Erase Marker Set ($1 at Staples)

I got an awesome stash this year for about $60 total!! I do have a couple more things to get that I haven't gotten yet, like Colored Pencils that will be on sale this weekend. I also need some Glue Sticks.I do share with family and friends as needed. I also stocked up on some things that were super cheap because of the lack of good deals this year, I never know what next year will bring as far as prices and items!
Here are some pics of our supplies:
Sorting everything and taking inventory
Nice and organized in the Supply Cabinet
Great "Stash"!!
Found all these supplies when I decluttered and organized
the Toy/School Room!
Our awesome Bookshelves for our
School Books and some Toys
I am very much looking forward to putting together Pencil Boxes and supplies for the boys before our "Back to Homeschool" day on Tuesday! I have always loved "new supplies" since I was very very young!
4 more days until "Back to Homeschool Day"!! Looking forward to it!!
