With the upcoming and ongoing school supply sales, Tina Bietler on Youtube clued me in on one very important tip in her video on how to shop like a teacher. Staples and Office Depot/Max post their ads EARLY. Staples on Thursday, Office Depot on Friday. I get to plan what I want to get before Sunday rolls around! This way, I can go the first day and get things before they sell out. That's usually the issue with Office Depot, but the two Staples locations I typically go to are always well stocked when I go.
I got those Sharpie flip chart markers that I LOVE when Staples put them on sale for $5, and I got mechanical pencils in boxes of 12 for just $0.75 each! I love these deals each week!
Also, while yard sales are wonderful sources for supplies and decorations, don't forget about local thrift stores!! I got so many books over the summer for super cheap because I went to a few different thrift stores in the area. Also, check Facebook for teacher selling groups!! Retired teachers and teachers switching grade levels sell stuff on there at some AMAZING prices!! Check out the clipboards I just got for $4:
Most of them had the teacher's name on the back, so I used contact paper to cover it and I wrote up some simple labels with a Sharpie. Looks more me, for sure. :)
That's all, folks!
