I never cared about this before I started couponing. I now know that it is a goldmine. Why? Every week the big retailers will offer different items for .01, .05, .25 - etc. It's a fabulous time to stock up on office supplies, craft supplies for your kids, craft supplies to put away for birthday gifts and party favors, etc.
Watch for crazy deals on:
- crayons
- paper
- pens
- index cards
- rulers
- scissors
- folders
- pencil boxes
- markers
- glue - glue sticks, elmer's, etc
- tape
And start watching your inserts for coupons on some of those things. I haven't paid for pens in two years.
I always stock up on crayons, glue, and scissors for kids' craft gifts. It's also a great time to keep an eye out for deals on office supplies like staplers, organizers, etc.
AND in September, they start clearancing it all out - more deals!!!

I love school supplies. Must be the student/teacher in me. Plus I'm already stockpiling craft stuff for Vin even though it will be a while before we use it.
