Don’t feel you have to buy the entire supply list in one shopping trip. I personally advise you pick up the best deals each week that meet your supply list needs. Please read the blurb under OfficeDepot/Max as this store has 3 different flyers (depending on where you live) this week.
I have put asterisks ( ***) by the deals that I think are definitely a SUPER buy.
Some sites to check out for school supply coupons:

STAPLES
Paper Mate Profile ballpoint pens (4pk) = FREE AFTER REBATE ($3 – $3 rebate = FREE) (*** if you do rebate)
For those of you who have asked me about getting a “better deal” on binders, I’d suggest checking out Staples this week. First, they have a 20% off coupon for “everything you can fit in our bag” (& the coupon gives you a free Staples reusable bag). The coupon can be printed at http://www.staples.com/coupons. Second, Staples also has the following binder coupons to print (at http://www.staples.com/coupons): A) 50% off any Avery binder and B) 30% off any Staples Better Binder. The fine print on the 20% coupon is a tad confusing — it states both “one coupon per item” and “”scan any product-specific coupons applicable to the transaction prior to scanning 20% coupon”.
Staples has five $1 off coupons in their flyer this week. These same coupons can be printed at http://www.staples.com/coupons. The coupons are for the following brands: Sharpie, PaperMate, uniball, Expo, and Mr Sketch. The fine print on all the coupons (except Mr Sketch) state “Limit 5 coupons per customer. Each item purchased can only be discounted by one coupon.” This means you can buy 5 different Sharpie items and use 5 $1 Sharpie coupons. For Mr. Sketch, only 1 coupon per customer.
Use these coupon to decrease the following sale prices:
Sharpie markers 12pk = $5 ($4 after coupon***)
Sharpie Accent highlighters 5pk = $5 ($4 after coupon)
PaperMate Profile Pens Elite (8pk) = $8 ($7 after coupon)
PaperMate Profile Pens retractable assorted (12pk) = $8 ($7 after coupon)
Papermate mechanical pencils (5pk) = $3 ($2 after coupon)
Expo dry erase markers (4pk) = $4 ($3 after coupon***)
Expo low odor dry erase starter set = $6 ($5 after coupon)
uniball Kuru Toga mechanical pencils = $5 ($4 after coupon)
uniball 207 pens (4pk) = $5 ($4 after coupon)
Mr Sketch 12pk markers = $7 ($6 after coupon)
Staples Composition Books = 0.50

Crayola classic markers (10pk) = 0.97 ***
Crayola colored pencils (12pk) = 0.97***
Crayola 24 pk crayons = 0.50

Staples graph rule paper composition book = $1
AGAIN: There are 2 different options for Hammermill paper this week:
In the paper ad, there is a coupon that makes 1 ream = $1 (after coupon AND rebate).
***If you go to http://www.staples.com/coupons and print the coupon, the ream = FREE (after coupon AND rebate). ***
It appears to be the SAME rebate, so I would definitely go with the online coupon to get a ream for FREE (again, after coupon AND rebate).
NOTE: For those of you new to my emails or to Staples’ rebates: Staples Easy Rebates are super easy to do. You can file the rebate online and the check ALWAYS arrives.
OFFICE DEPOT/OFFICE MAX (the 2 companies merged in November 2013)
Office Depot/Office Max is still making me crazy with their 3 different flyers, depending on where you live. I have initially listed the deals that are the same in all 3 ads (because the main difference between the 3 ads is the penny and quarter and free after rebate deals). After that, please find your state for their cheap deals. (And if I didn’t list your state, I apologize — I’m not 100% sure where everyone lives and I didn’t check as many states this week due to time.)
