For me it was the glue sticks - Staples/Office Depot had them 8 for $1.00 a week ago. And I bought a set of the Crayola Washable markers to try for marking a quilt.
I also bought a composition book $.50 to start using for the quilts I personally design - hope I can remember to take a picture of the quilt when it is done. Usually I think of the picture after it has been given away.
Luckily my DD is an elementary teacher and I get to go with her to buy school supplies. Usually there is a sale on the Elmer's liquid white school glue, but this year it was the stick glue. Not a big deal because I didn't need it but my DD found it was much cheaper to buy it by the gallon from Walmart. The school supply hunt seems to run in my blood, once I was telling my mom how I loved the shopping for school supplies and she said she still loved it even though she had no one to shop for anymore. She said she didn't know what a junky she was until we had all left home and she found a drawer with 10 packages of paper, a couple boxes of pencils and a few pechees. She said she couldn't resist looking at the adds and letting my sister know where the best sales were.
