If you get the buy 2, get 2 Expo dry erase markers, highlighters, or Sharpie markers at Office Max the save $5 vendor coupons that are still found at some of the stands sometimes still do work. One worked when I got 4 packs of black, chisel point Expo dry erase markers. So I bought 2, got $5 off, and then also got 2 more packs free! It did not ring up as nicely when I tried to change up the colors and tip styles, but the nice girl gave it to me since it had just worked on my other order. Plus, she knew I was a teacher. 🙂
That was a great deal! Glad the cashier helped you work the deal
Elmers bottled glue and Elmers 2 pack of glue sticks are both 40 cents at Target and WalMart. I am guessing that might be their standard price right now, which for bottled glue looks better than the other ads. The 6 pack glue sticks at Target for $1 still works out better, unless you don’t need a lot of glue sticks, but who know what youngsters do with some of their glue sticks. Some kids go through one in two weeks.
Kids seem to go through glue sticks like crazy. That’s always on the school supply request list about mid year.
