School Supply Sale at OfficeMax and Office Depot.

The stores are trying to rip my summer away from me already.   Is it just me or do the school supply sales start earlier every year?  Nonetheless,  my money mind knows it's better to buy now than pay full price later.

Here are this week's deals at OfficeMax and OfficeDepot.  I asked all of this for $5.66 with tax.  Office Max does put a limit of three on each big discount item. 

Big Deals:

Crayons $.25
Sharpie Markers $.25 each
Highlighters $.25
Pencils $.01
Pencil Boxes $.01
Staplers $.01
Erasers $1.00
Paper Punch $1.00

The kicker here is you must have a minimum purchase of $5.00.  Hence,  the paper punch and erasers, both which we will need anyway.

Now that sales have started,  check the ads every week as each will feature other really good deals to help save on the budget.

Case Lot Sales

Everyone likes to save money at the grocery store. This week is the perfect opportunity to do just that.  Both Albertson's and Smith's grocery stores are offering case lot sales this week.  These are a great way to stock up on food at a discount price.  Add a coupon or two, or more, on top of that and you got a great deal!

One of the perks of case lot sales is how fast checking out is.  At Smith's Food and Drug, they have a preprogrammed list for each case item.  All you need to do is tell them which cases you have and they type it in.  Much faster than buying individual items that must be rang up separately.

Each store, at least where we are, also usually has plenty of products on hand.  Do plan on lots of available trunk space when you go!  Sales are good through Tuesday, April 8th.  Check the Albertsons Grocery and Smirh's Food and Drug websites for your areas weekly ad as they differ from region to region.
