I asked DS's new teachers at preschool if they needed any school supplies. With all the back-to-school sales on, I thought I could pick up some things that the classroom might need. We don't have a list of school supplies to buy, but I often ask the teachers if there's anything they would like and then I see if I can find a sale. They said washable markers. Any great deals on markers, preferably Crayola?? Target? Staples?

Thanks.

I was in Target the other day and they have their back to school stuff out. Some of the prices were just crazy low. I'd check there first.

Target
Office Depot
Staples
Toys R Us
kMart
Walmart

Usually $2 per box on sale, at least that's what I paid last week in Staples, but price matched from Toys R Us.

I know one of the stores has 'em for $2 this week.

I got boxes of washable crayola markers (8 pack) for $1.50 per box at Target a few weeks ago. That's the cheapest I've seen them go for so far this year.

Thank you. I'll make a run to Target tomorrow - it's the closest to me. I plan to get several packs, so the cheaper the better. I also think I have a Target back to school coupon. Kind of annoyed as I was at Target today, but I didn't think to ask the teacher until I picked DS up.

I just looked in my Sunday papers and Crayola washable markers are $1.50 for an 8 count box again this week. :)

(They had Crayola brand $2 a couple of weeks ago. Try checking their ad online every week because they are discounting back-to-school supplies right now.)

I got a whole box of markers from Lakeshore Learning - the don't come in a package but in a big box. With a BOGO coupon they worked out to be about a dollar for a set of 12 (I think). I got it for DD's birthday and put one set in each of the goody bags. And the markers are adverstised as being the most washable markers ever.
