As a reminder, through Labor Day I’m bringing you a once-weekly post rounding up the best school supply deals for a number of area stores. Having ONE post means less publishing for me and less searching for what you need. Win win. This is only possible thanks to a joint effort from The Coupon Project, Thrifty NW Mom,Grays Harbor Deals, and Sweet Deals for Mom. (So do check them all out and give them your love!)
If you missed it, please do read my post on Back to School shopping tips along with a free download of my stockup prices for supplies.
Deals in red are my stockup prices.

Thank you for the info! This makes our shopping trips so much easier!
You are so welcome!!
When I was at Staples today they would not accept my BIC coupons and I was told they don’t accept coupons on their sale items, this was told to me by a General Manager at a Beaverton, OR store. Thought it was strange but what could I do?
