More school supply shopping
I decided to do all my shopping for the week in one day. I wanted to go to a ton of stores, and they're all in a 1 mile radius of each other, so that's what we did. (One is far away and got pushed off to another day.) :-)
Mostly what I bought was school supplies, but one store was a grocery store. Here goes!
Stop #1: Harris Teeter
4 boxes Fruity Pebbles
2 4lb bags sugar
Originally $20.38
I spent $9.02
I saved $11.36, or 56%
Stop #2: Toys R Us
48 boxes of Crayola crayons
Originally $62.64
I spent $12.72
I saved $49.92, or 80%
(What on earth will I do with all of those crayons, you ask? Why, donate them! Schools, Christmas shoeboxes, birthday presents, whatever. They don't spoil so I have at least a year to give them all away.)
Stop #3: Target
200 cotton balls (gonna be great for art projects)
6 folders
Crayola Night and Day something or other - on clearance and Kara deserved it for being such an angel.
Originally $22.86
I spent $8.85
I saved $14.01, or 61%
Stop #4: Staples
4 boxes chalk
6 spiral notebooks
4 pkgs bic pencils
2 bags paperclips
6 tissues
10 folders

GRAND TOTALS:
