Back to School and Freebie Friday

Didn't get a blog out yesterday :( sorry, today however I am so thankful that we are cooler and I am getting my house back to a normal temperature, I got some sleep last night so I feel much better today and a bit more productive.

I got the Staples e-mail today with their specials for next week, they are selling packs of filler paper for 1 cent each, I am definitely getting those for school. The kids and I went in on Monday and got some of the deals I told you about last week, I saw the filler paper on sale for 79 cents (I think) but I had a feeling it would go lower because we got it last year for a steal, so I decided to wait... smart choice. By the way, those sale prices are effective Sun. - Thurs.

Ok, so it's Freebie Friday... I've been looking around for a really nice freebie... sometimes it's hard to find, I came across this offer and although it's not completely free, you get 7 free bonus recipe books with your purchase. Anyway, I really like to cook so it appeals to me, they are offering recipes from all our favorite restaurants. Click on the link to take a look.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Be blessed!

Back to School Savings

Seems like just a few weeks ago I was wrapping up the 2008-09 school year with my kiddos, as a homeschooling family we make our own schedule, I like to start the school year earlier than our public schools and we don't take as many days off so we get done sooner.
So, it's time to start preparing for our new school term coming up, we are already set up with our curriculum but we still need the miscellaneous school supplies.
Here's a few deals that Staples has going for the week of July 26-Aug. 1. I imagine some stores are offering different specials so you might want to go to www.staples.com for your local store ad.

25 cent deals:

• Elmer's Glue 4oz
• Staples manual pencil sharpener
• Bic Matic Grip mechanical pencils (5 pack)
• Staples 3"x5" white ruled index cards (100 pack)
• Staples cap erasers (12 pack)
• Slider pencil case

Print coupon from ad: $5 off any in store purchase of $30 or more

Save 25-50% on all backpacks

There's much more, check it out. By the way, sign up for the Staples Rewards card, it's free and they'll send you a rewards check each month. That was easy!

I'll keep watching for more back to school specials and update you as I find them.

Have a blessed day!
