Target had Roseart 24 pack crayons for 20 cents today. What I want to know is who has the best deal on filler paper!
We’ll keep an eye out for filler paper. I think Target usually ends up putting that on a good sale
is $0.99 for crayola colored pencils a good deal or should expect it to go down even further? Thank you for all you do!
I THINK $0.25-$0.50 was a good price last year. Depending on how many you need, it is likely 1 of the drugstores will have a promotion on them for free too. I can’t tell you for sure though just in case sales are different this year.
You can always grab them at $0.99 if you’re already in the store and keep your receipt. The prices have already started dropping from 2 weeks ago, so hopefully they will drop more
I love the way you catagorized by item and not by store or price! Great way to do the best deal summary.
Office Max has Ticonderoga pencils (24 count per pack) – 2 packs for $5
Office Max has a sale on Expo dry-erase markers (or highlighters). I’m a teacher and these are my favorite brand. Buy 2 get 1 free, but there is also a $5 coupon on the display, so I got 3 4-packs for $5.60. I thought this was a pretty good deal!
