We end up at Walmart with other stores fliers to price match.

I haven't gotten JDaniel's list yet. Last year it was mostly cleaning supplies and fat glue sticks.

Usually at Walmart, but the school offered School Box Kits this year and I figured I would try it out. The 3rd grade box cost me $25 and it's supposed to have all the supplies they need for the year.

 Good idea to bring the fliers and get it all at one place!  I hate driving to different spots for the best deals... I've got to remember that one!

Oh it is a lot isn't it.  Three of my kids are in school right now, ages 16 to 8.  I watch the fliers and hit all the loss leaders on the flyer.  If I start early we can get a good stash.

 I thin k the key is to start early.

I had to be one city over last week for an appointment so we hit up the zellers there, its clising so everytgung was 40-60% off but then i used scp to get things free or at a further discount! Anything i could get there I checked fliers. I refuse to shop at walmart (personal reasons!), so when i didnt see any other good deals (we got like 90% of the stuff on clearance at Zellers anyways), i hit up the local dollarama! My daughter is set for school supplies, although still needs some jeggings, fall boots, indoor and outdoor running shoes & a new backpack! I got the rest of her clithes, lunch bag & new lunch, snack & drink containers already! I even got her a brand new gap snowsuit for $7.50!

I bought ours at our local grocery store (HEB) and his backpack from Target. 

Great idea to price match with the ads at Walmart! 

It sure does add up! I heard on the news that it is on avg $80 per child for school supplies.
