It's hard to believe it's time for BTS shopping already! Please post deals to this thread, and we'll start a new thread each week. As always, YMMV due to regional price differences.

Any really great deals for the large .77oz glue sticks?

Target!!! Their regular price was I believe $4.9x for a pack of SIX! It's the best price I've seen anywhere (including Walmart)! I'm holding off in case they go on sale but if they don't, I'm buying a few packs to keep in the school supply stock cabinet Seems most people around here are buying the multi-packs of the smaller sizes but our school requests the 0.77oz sticks too.

Walmart carried a 2-pack (I think, if I remember right) of an even larger glue stick size. Don't remember the price, but it's there if folks need the GIANT JUMBO ones!

eta: These are for the Elmers brand - we are requested to buy name brand stuff so I'm not sure how the generics are priced.

Kmart has folders. Pencils and 70 page notebooks are 10 cents.

Oh rats! I bought the composition books when they were 50 cents. Bummer!! I'm trying to see how far under the school kit ($44!!!!!) I can get.

I just read the fine print. You must spend 25 dollars if not they are .25.

I got them .50 each at Walgreens on 7/15 (.99 for a two pack), so the sale is over but maybe come back around? I think mine were .71oz or something slightly off but close enough. I needed three but will send in the fourth since they are slightly undersized.
