The 3 top things that I LOVED this summer were the Penny Deals at my favorite office supply stores - I went to so many different Staples, Office Max, and Office Depots to pick up their cheap supplies. I don't know if I really needed a million portfolios, but I know I will use every single thing this coming year.
I also picked up a personal laminator this summer. I actually bought 3 of them. The first one came from Target - but then I couldn't justify spending $30 and having to buy laminating sheets separately. The 2nd one came from Costco for $20, and it came with 100 laminating sheets... but then I talked myself out of needing it... until I decided that I really did need it - so I bought it again. Then my hubby found laminating sheets on Amazon for cheap 100 sheets for $10. Couldn't beat that, just hoping they are great!
I love my paper cutter - and my new circle cutter. They sure beat having to use scissors... you know?
Rule of 3... I love the Rule of 3...
I'm also linking up with Elizabeth at Fun in Room 4B to share my most favorite find of the week.
INK!!!
Let me tell you a little back story of the ink - I dropped my older boys and husband off at the movies, then littlest boy and myself were on our way to meet my sister and go shopping... only I was running a little early so decided to stop in to the Office Depot to see their deals. These were on the clearance rack - originally $15-20 a box - down to $4 each!!!!!!!! Can I tell you how excited I was?!? I mean, what is the chance that you actually find ink to your printer on clearance for so cheap. I immediately called my husband, who thankfully hadn't turned off his cell phone yet in the theatre, and he made me check for expiration dates, etc... no expiration dates at all - and I will totally use all of this before it goes bad! I have decided that I LOVE printing in color, and now I'm not going to give myself a guilt trip about using up the ink.
This was my most favorite find of the week!
Oh wow! What a steal!!! You really lucked up on the best bargain of the summer for sure. Thank you for linking up.

Thanks for hosting!
DeleteI love Penny Deals and my circle cutter, too! Now going to check our your classroom pictures...
ReplyDeleteAren't they wonderful? This weekend is Teacher Appreciation at Office Depot - and portfolios are 1 cent each - AND they still give teachers a 30 limit on them. I just wish they were closer...
DeleteOhh! A paper cutter! I forgot about this when I was making the long list of things I want!
ReplyDeleteI just started following your blog!

DeleteI have talked myself out a personal laminator all summer. I have now decided it is time to just get it but I plan on using my bonus points for Scholastic to get mine.

Here is the link - but the price is now at $11 (instead of the $10 that we got a couple of days ago.) - Still a deal since supposedly they are down from $41.
