School Supplies

I admit to it, I always look for bargains.  I also know that I work with students whose parents have to ride a bus to go to a grocery story, rather than a liquor store that carries a few groceries.  There are no Targets, Wal-Marts, K-marts, or office supply stores close to their homes.  So, I try to stock up on school supplies before school starts.

Here are the few sales I found in the ads for this week.  (Sales may vary based on location.)  I included a few things that I have seen or read that others have purchased for their rooms.
