A Few Good Deals

I have been out of the coupon world for a couple of weeks because of the move and a lack of internet connection. So, today I got on the internet and my favorite coupon communities and saw some great deals. For you mommies of school age children, you may want to begin your school shopping. Or maybe you just need to fill you office with some basic supplies. CVS and Staples have some great deals on school supplies. Starting on the 12th you can get:

2 1 subject notebooks - $.99 each earning $.99 ECBs each
3 8ct. Papermate grip pens - $.99 each earning $.99 ECBs each
2 5" scissors (pointed or blunt) - $2.99 each earning $2.99 ECBs each
2 5oz. School Glue - $.99 each earning $.99 ECBs each
2 12" wood or plastic rulers - $.99 each earning $.99 ECBs each

for really cheap! I have $1.50 in ECBs to begin with so I plan on getting two notebooks using those ECBs for .48. Then using the 2 ECBs from that transaction and rolling them like crazy until I get the rest of it for free. At the end I plan to use my final ECBs to get some crayola crayons. If you have a neighbor or friend that will let you use their card you could get even more for a steal.
Staples has some great deals too and there might be a $5 off $20 purchase coupon in the Sunday paper.

If that is the case go get all of those cheap items and donate them to a needy child or send them to your favorite 5'11" blonde mommy named Alita. She will surely know what to do with them. ;) TTFN!
