Welcome! Each week this summer I’ve been compiling a list of stores with the best Back to School Discount Deals on School Supplies. Many deals are the same as last week and will continue through September 4 or so. Big Lots still has 17 cent notebooks (so does KMart), the cheapest around! 5Below still has the best deal on pencil sharpeners if you can find them at 20 for $1. I didn’t include Rite Aid or CVS this week since they aren’t offering any good sales. But I did add a new online store, Dollar Days, for you to check out!
Coupons: Were you able to find that BIC coupon in last week’s SmartSource flyer from the newspaper? The coupon is $1 off a BIC product with the expiration date of 8/3/18. This week there were several inserts. The SmartSource again contains some Back to School products:
SmartSource Flyer (July 29)
- Five Star $1.50/1 binder (9/30)
- Five Star $1/2 all products (9/30)
- Pilot $0.75/1 g2 pens 4pk+ (10/15)
- Pilot $0.75/1 precise pens 2pk (10/15)
