Totally Free School Supplies

All Free!
I love school supplies. As a teacher, I just can't get enough of it. Even though I teach high school, I still find that my students love it when I have coloring supplies, glue and scissors on hand. And as all teachers know, you can never have enough pens and pencils.

A few weeks back I was able to get some scissors for very cheap and during today's Publix trip (post later tonight) I also picked up some cheap mechanical pencils. The highlight of my school shopping so far happened earlier this week when I got 5 bottles of glue, 6 glue sticks, 20 pens and 10 twenty four packs of crayons all for FREE!

Here is how:
  • 2 three packs of Elmer's Glue Sticks, on sale at Publix for .67 cents
    • Used two $1 off coupons from Publix.com (no longer available for print for the 3 packs)
    • Made them ALL FREE plus a little bit of overage I put towards an extra Sunday paper
  •  5 bottles of Rose Art Glue at .34 cents each and 10 package of Rose Art Crayons for .25 cents each at Target
    • Used two printable $1/3 coupons
    • Used three $1/3 coupons from the 7/27 RP
    • Made them ALL FREE plus about $1 in overage that I used towards the pens
  •  2 packages of Bic Pens, on sale for .99 cents each at Target (same purchase as the Rose Art)
    • Used a $1/2 Facebook printable
    • Made them .49 cents each or FREE since I used my overage from the Rose Art
