Although pens aren’t on our school supply list, I know that middle school kids will use pens just as often as pencils, so when I saw this deal at Staples, I couldn’t resist. Now through Wednesday, Staples has an 8 pack of Bic pens for a penny with a $5 minimum purchase (limit 2). So far, the teacher limits for the penny deals have been 25, so I am hoping for that again this week. I am planning on heading to my local Staples tonight or tomorrow night. Here is my plan: 25 packs of pens for a penny (because of the increased teacher limit) and two reams of paper. The paper is $4.99 with a $4.98 rebate, so after getting the rebate back only a penny. The total out of pocket will be $10.23 + tax, but after getting the rebate back only tax + $.27. So for $.25 (+ a little tax), we will be able to supply my husband’s classroom with 200 pens. I will keep the paper at home.
Continuing to stretch our budget by cutting the crust off high-priced school supplies…
