AMAZON

High-quality pencil sharpeners with great reviews.

MENARDS
Through August 3rd, Menards is having fantastic sales on school supplies. This is the best time to shop for school deals if you have a local Menards store. (I sadly, do not have a local store.) They have tons of items for 39 cents, 59 cents and 79 cents. PLUS notebooks and pens that are free with rebate.
Frankly, there are just too many items to list. You can check here online to view your local flyer.
OFFICE DEPOT/OFFICE MAX
Doorbuster! $0.10 Notebooks- While Supplies Last! Plus, Up To 80% Off Our Best Selling School Supplies! – limit 4 In-store – per household.
HOWEVER, Helen, one of our group members had this experience:
These stores have 70-page spiral notebooks available in 5 colors – green, red, blue, yellow and black – college or wide-ruled for $0.10 each. The ad says 4 per household/business. She ordered online and it allowed her to get four of each color in each style (college ruled, and wide-ruled) so she got 40 notebooks in total and chose free ship to store. Some will have success with this process. Many others have reported success in doing the same. However, she got a call from the store after ordering saying she could only order 12 per day. Everyone is having different experiences depending on their store or their state. It is definitely worth checking out if you need a lot!
