What do you think this means?

1 1/2” vinyl binder (not larger) with 7 pocket folders inside cover*

Should the folders have holes or not?

I'd assume these pocket folders were IN the binder itself (like a trapper keeper). So yes, holes to put them in the binder.

Thanks! Went ahead and ordered some with holes.

I went to Michael's but they didn't have the flash cards. I'm going to check Target today.

ISO Texas Instuments Scientific solar powered calculator. I see it on Amazon (actually they have a school edition and regular, not sure which to buy), but looking for a decent price...

i ended up getting flashcards in the target dollar section (they had restocked) but by the time i did that it was too late to cancel my barnes and noble order, so i have those too (those were the ones liked up thread and pictured...for under six bucks shipped (I'm a member of B&N so no shipping charges).... we opened them and ran through the addition today and they are fine. it wasn't a huge expense, so i'll keep the target ones too and have a set for home and a set for school- i would have spent more printing them on card stock for sure

Also:
"quantity: 2
Folders, 2 Pkt/Prong, 3Pk, Be/Rd/Gr

assume this is 2 packages of a 3 pack of folders with 2 pockets and with prongs in the colors blue, green and red but COME ON. there are no such packs

We've bought those now for a few years...I've never seem them in a pack, they are pretty cheap at Target, so I just buy the separate colors. I hate going to Walmart so I got all my supplies at Target. The extra money I'd save isn't worth the aggravation of going there and most things I bought at Target were on sale anyway.

Just bought a 5 pack of these at target. Blue, green, red, yellow and purple. My son didn't need the purple but it was the easy way to get the 4 colors he needed and I can always find use for the purple one. I think it was $3 for the pack

My list has gallon freezer bag, non-zipper. Do you think they mean the ones you press together to close versus the slider?

When I looked at the ones that you press together, they're labeled as "double zipper" bags.
These: http://www.ziploc.com/Products/Pages...Freezer%20Bags

But the slider ones actually look like zippers?

Help!

I'd buy one of each and keep receipts and ask the teacher which one she wanted. that's a real puzzle.
