I just got home from WalMart and found Elmer's Glue Sticks in the "Back to School" section for $.10 each....yup, just 10 cents! I picked up 10, should have got more....LOL

I heard that if you put them in the fridge they will keep much longer♥

I know!! I bought 50 sticks! They will go in the goody bags for the guild retreat. Everyone can use a glue stick. Did you see the narrow plastic pencil boxes for .47? Great for keeping bobbins and extra sewing feet as well as marking pencils. I love back to school sales. Do not let the dorm office chairs at Walmart get passed you. The extra wide and tall back ones are fantastic and come in great colors. I bought one of each color last year and they made nice really unexpected Christmas gifts. They are easy to store in the box and so inexpensive.

Those smaller pencil cases for older students Jr. High and up obviously, are great for small scissors and rotary cutters as well. I kept a couple that I had when teaching, and that's what I use them for.

I get lots of school supply rebates at Office Max, Office Depot, Staples and Walgreens. Wal mart will also price match the deals at other stores. I noticed Staples is now making you purchase $5 in other things for the best deals. But if you take the add to Wal Mart they will match it. Last year I bought 100 of the glue sticks at Wal Mart for 10 cents and took them to school. I just keep them in a zip lock bag to keep them fresh.

Isn't it great to stroll the back to school specials now that you don't actually need to? I love seeing what can go into my sewing room.

I buy all the really cheap stuff and the back to school stuff that is free with a rebate. Then I keep a few things and donate the rest to the school where I work for the kids that can't afford school supplies. I haven't ever paid for paper for my printer. I get a bunch free every year at the sales. Since the paper is free and my printer uses the ink that is $5 I can print out as many quilt patterns and recipes I want.

What store do you shop at? I like your idea and I could donate extras to my grandsons school.

What printer do you have that the ink only costs $5?

I bought 20 sticks last weekend. I also love the the clear protector sheets for printed patterns. The smallest amount of water can ruined a pattern printed on inkjet printers.
