Best Prices on School Supplies?
Is there a "big box" store that has better pricing on school supplies than the rest? Out of town and missed the ads in last Sunday's paper. Also, any coupons worth scouting out? Thanks~

I would say that Target is likely your best bet for the age group. I wen tthere for my 1st grader and found the crayon and sciccor prices to be far better then Freddies or Staples. I did have to go to Freddies for glue as the particular type my son's school wanted wasn't at target. But Target did have crayons at like $0.22 for a 24 crayon box when I went a couple weeks ago.

Hey K.,
I wait til the sales a little bit before school starts. They usually have really good deals. The problem is we dont end up getting the list til right before school starts and the sales are over!!!!
