Shopping Trip!

Someone asked yesterday if I would share the details of my shopping trip for school supplies (for my girls and our Operation Christmas Child boxes) after I got my list together.  I made two stops today at Wal-Mart and Dillons.

I wrote down just a few of my favorite prices at Wal-Mart:

$0.15  Spiral-bound Notebooks (70 pg)
$0.25  Elmer's Gluestick (2 pk)
$1.00  Crayola Colored Pencils (12 pk)
$1.00  Crayola Watercolor Paints
$1.00  Crayola Classic Markers (but check out my deal at Dillons!)
$0.25  Composition Notebooks
$1.50  Fiskar Child Scissors
$1.00  Calculator
$0.84  Clasp Envelope (6ct) - regularly priced at $2.47


I had a great trip at Dillons.  I spent $5.50 and got back a $2.00 catalina, so I spent $3.50 for 3 boxes of Crayola Washable Markers, 6 boxes of Crayola Crayons (24 ct), and 3 packages of Paper-mate pens!

The catalina was $2 off a $10 purchase or $4 off a $20 purchase of Expo, Paper-mate, Mead, Sharpie, Crayola, Avery, Five-Star, or Uniball.  I still haven't quite figured it out, but my guess is that the Crayola Washable Markers added up as regular price for the catalina (even though I still got them for $1). 

I'm heading to Dollar General and Apple Market (IGA) later today, so we'll see what I can find!  Have you found any great buys?!!
