Penny Deals (a.k.a. STEALS)!

Summer back-to-school sales are in full force! Have you been scouring the weekly ads? My best friend (a fellow teacher) and I have been sucked in to the madness and are trying to save (or pay) a penny wherever we can.


Our goal of course is to stock up our classrooms and provide students with the materials they will need to have a successful year.  As you hit the sales, don't forget that many places do guaranteed "price matching". I was always a little leery by these statements, but Becky and I tried it a few days ago, and it worked! We were able to get the penny deals that were advertised at an office supply store at Wal-Mart. With our printed ad in hand, we searched for the featured items and took them to the register. With a few questions asked, no limits on the quantities, and verification of the competitor's ad/sale, the supervisor rang us up in minutes. We were out the door having spent only a fraction of the price we would have paid with the regular back-to-school sale. Why not save a penny (or dollars) when you can? My wallet is sure appreciative! What sales have you hit lately? What types of items are you purchasing and how do you use them in your classroom?
