School Supplies for 2012-2013 Session - Deals !!!!

[Patty Smyth]

Thought I would start this since so many of us will be on the lookout for those crazy expensive , useless supplies, most of which come back at the end of the year unused, but don't get me started .


I'll make it a WIKI so we can all add and keep bumping it up. If you see some things that are NOT great deals please let us know. I don't purchase all of these things so I may not realize what is a good price or not. THANKS SCer's

I've got 30x 1in binder for 0.79$ at SDM the other day on 18500pts event

I'm stock for a couple of years now!!!

I'm joining the madness this year, crazy what they need in maternelle!! I have to pay 40$ for art supply and need to buy some playdough WTF?!

[Patty Smyth]

Wait till they get to high school and every teacher wants a different freaking binder. My son got DETENTION for not having a black binder with a plastic slide in window, can you believe it? But don't get me started

[2010ontest]

yep the crazyness of some teacher request and stick on this

[GeorgiaK]

r u kidding me? I have him starting daycare and I have a list of supplies to get. He's not even 2 yet!!!

My son last year use about 20 glue stick. I sometimes wonder if there was not a party of "lichage" de colle.
Patty, the elementary school also have the same type of "must have". My daughter was in grade 3 last year and the teacher ask for vinyl duo-tang with specific color. Doh!

[Patty Smyth]

Yup and for me it's times 2 because it's a bilingual school so the english and french are treated separately. I already have my list and it one duotang of each color, colored pencils and crayons and markers for each!!!!

The school my son went to even wanted 2 different pencil cases one for french one for english.

[AnnieP]

Bin voyons donc!

Why do they ask for pencils, why not mechanical pencils? Would save some trees in the long run.

[2010ontest]

2 years ago I remember the huge number of duo-tang of all color they ask for my daughter... it was crazy and take alot of time to have ALL the color: white, black, grey, orange, red, light blue, dark blue, yellow, pink, beige, green, purple and translucide.

we have a ticonderoga on our school supply list. thats a three sided pencil.


I would never have known that. this is kindergarten BTW lol

[AnnieP]

I reuse the material I can each year. The eraser is still good, even of it not new.
Same for binder, rules, pens and pencils, etc.
Ds and DD have the same bags since maternelle.
That's the way I save money (and the environement too).

In my neighbourhood, there's parents unable to provide school supplies. So, each years, there's always a liquidation at Wal-Mart were I can grab things for next years. And I always have some more for those who can't afford it. It's not a big deal, but if this can help ONE person... why not!

[Patty Smyth]

I try to re-use some stuff and I used to go to Bureau en gros at the end of the season but I always ended up with crap they don't use. The thing that really bothers me is in high school when they ask for a specific scientific calculator. Well what do you think happens to them? The kids who can't afford it steal them and my son went through 3 one year . Same goes for textbooks, one year he ended up with 2 history books, someone took his science book, replaced it with a history book, well guess how much mom had to pay for that one ? $100!!!!
