School shopping by cherry picking...cheap glue at Staples, pencils at CVS... it all adds up

I've been watching the sales for school supplies lately. Though I didn't quite make it to CVS on time this week to grab some free after ECB school supplies, I did get there today and cashed in on a few rainchecks I'd gotten the week before. Today I snagged the free pencils, free memo pads and free pens I'd missed out on last week because my CVS was out. I also ran into Staples and got two pencil boxes, two bottles of glue and two packages of eraser tops... all priced at .25 each. Walmart had two packs of glue sticks for a quarter and some crayons for .20 a package as well so I stocked up on those too.

Basically, I've been grabbing what I can when it's free or cheap. I still have some more things on my list to get, but overall, I'm set for glue, pencils and pens and crayons. I really love that CVS has been having week after week of free after ECB deals on back-to-school items since I get to roll those bucks each week and grab more deals!
