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.

Posted in a thread below. Will edit to reference this thread instead.

eta: Walgreens - 100 index cards for .39; 10 pink erasers for $1.00. There are a few more, these are the ones that caught my eye as being on our school lists before.

See Corie's post about Office Max/Depot mechanical pencil sale.

I was at Target today and they are putting out school stuff. I don't recall seeing anything in the CVS ad.

The Staples 24 Ticonderoga pencils for $2 is better than the Walgreens 10 for $1 that usually happens later in the summer however the ones at Walgreens are usually presharpened.

When does BTS pricing start for places like Walmart? I loathe Walmart with a passion but will go there for school supplies for the prices and one-stop shopping.

The Target circular had one page of BTS deals today. The 24 pack of Crayola crayons are two for $1. We were in there Friday night, And I was shocked to see that they were marked $1.37 for one pack. I remember during back-to-school season when 50 cents was the regular price and the real sale was 4 for a dollar.

Lunchboxes and Funtainers are also on sale, but it doesn't say what the sale price is. At my store, the regular price is $14.99. And at TRU, Funtainers and other water bottles are buy one get one 50% off. But I remember that they also price their water bottles higher than target/Walmart, so it might not necessarily be a better deal.

TRU also has their standard free lunch box with a backpack purchase this week. And several Crayola items are buy one get one 40% off.

Wondering if there will be a better sale on the crayons since it's still early. Looking to buy for brother's wedding actually (activity kits for kids), so need to potentially buy 15-30 packs.
