School Supplies Alert - 1 Penny or Less!

For parents getting an early jump on school supplies for their kids, or for stationery buffs, Staples has some low specials in this week's circular.

A few items are available for just one cent! Among them are 8-packs of pencils, pencil cases (if you buy 8 pencils, don't you need a case?), pencil sharpeners, and 2-pocket folders.

They also have a 5-pack of Pentel RSVP ballpoint pens in an assortment of color inks for $3.29 with a $3.29 rebate! It's also an easy-rebate so you don't have to mail anything in, you just submit your receipt information on-line. Free-after-rebate is always nice.

They also have Elmer's school glue on sale for 9 cents.

So for not much out-of-pocket, you can get a jump-start on the coming school year!
