The Staples ad for next week is available at their website. It's regional, so check yours out. The best thing they have in my area is 2 black sharpies for .25, but I already have enough of those.

Our Staples ad had (these are just the 'good deals, IMO):

Mechanical pencils - 10pk FAR
Jumbo Glue sticks (1.4 oz) - 2pk $2 <-- this is the best price I saw last year
Composition books - $0.10 w/$5 purchase, limit 3
Expo fine-pt Dry Erase, black or multicolor - 6 pk $4

Our tax-free weekend starts Fri, so I need to perk up and make a plan for anything we may need and can fit in our space, lol.
