EZSchool Supplies Giveaway
UPDATED WITH WINNER – The winner is Elizabeth F. from The Whole Family.
WearyParent is participating in the mega-giveaway carnival at Bloggy Giveaways this week. With the return to school looming right around the corner, it is just about time to start shopping for school supplies. With three kids in different grades and schools, I have often wished I could just hand the teacher a check and have them hand my child all the school supplies needed for the year. Just think of the money and time you could save. EZSchoolSupplies.com has been reading Moms’ minds!!
EZSchoolSupplies.com is a one stop shop for school supplies. Schools and teachers can register their supply lists with EZSchoolSupplies and then time-crunched Moms like me can look up the school/teacher, chose the appropriate school supply pack, and the supplies will arrive in the mail. No driving all over town or waiting in lines. And the school can benefi, too, because EZSchoolSupplies gives 10% of the school’s sales back to the school.
As part of the Bloggy Giveaways, we are giving away a sample EZ Supply Pack full of school supplies like construction paper, 3 ring binder, dividers, graph paper, scissors, ruler, pencil box, markers, erasers, and more. (see photo)

I love this idea! I wish one of my children’s schools would do bulk supply purchases. My least favorite thing about school supply shopping is that there is always one item that is impossible to find. My favorite thing is seeing the pile of shiny, new supplies sorted out for each of the children.
My favorite part of back to school shopping is when I can get things for great deals. I will visit a different store each week to get the best deal for EACH item in the lists.
My favorite part of back to school is getting new school supplies. I could shop for school supplies almost every day. I don’t enjoy sitting in the dressing room with my 12 year old daughter trying on fifty zillion pairs of jeans, though!
This will be my first time back to school shopping!! And I can’t remember doing it when I was in school!!
As a former teacher (SAHM now) I loved the bargains I could find while back to school shopping for my classroom. It always made me feel wonderful to save.
Thanks for the great giveaway and please stop by mine as well:

My favorite part of back to school shopping has to be helping my son pick out his backpack and lunchbox. Such fun!
Oh. Oh. Oh. I am hyperventilating now at this glorious prize. As a teacher, it seems I’m always in need of supplies for projects. Whenever I get a brilliant idea for a lesson, I find my supply closet empty. Which means choosing between spending my own money on the supplies or doing without.
I absolutely LOVE shopping for supplies. Our finances have been really tight this summer so I haven’t gotten to buy anything yet. But every time I see new ads for school supplies, I start getting excited. So pick me! Pick me!
We homeschool, so my least favorite part is spending all the money on the curriculum we need, but I love to plan.
What a neat concept! I hate shopping, all together. Dealing with rude people that push & shove, or take the whole isle annoys me, lol.
Great giveaway!
My favorite part is all the deals that can be found.

My least favorite part is trying to find my girls the correct uniform parts, by the time school comes they’ve been raided here. This year I am taking a proactive stance I am slowly buying the clothes – except my kindergardner may not have that coveted blue polo she needs. And pants..so hard. Seriously my kids look like they are off to work at Target some days. LOL
Oh this would be great! My favorite part of school supplies? The way they smell! I don’t know why, but I love the smell.
I love how excited my kids get over pens and markers and erasers. The newness of it is just exciting.
MY fave part would definitely be buying the stationary like pens, markers and notebooks!
My oldest is going to Kindergarten this fall. I’m looking forward to taking her shopping for new shoes and underwear and all the fun school supplies.
I have this love of all things office supplies!
So I love everything about shopping for school supplies! What I don’t like is paying for it! LOL
wow i love to try and win this thanks
My favorite part is the excitement the children have about the new year and fresh, new supplies. My least favorite part is the money I have to spend for 7+ children!
Okay…my MOST fav part of back to school shopping is the excitement for the kids. They LOVE school and get really excited knowing it is getting close to time. My LEAST fav part is not finding something on the ‘LIST”…you know. The THING everyone in town is OUT OF.
My daughter is entering Kindergarten this Fall — so this will be our first time!
My favorite thing about back to school shopping is seeing the kids get excited about starting school.
My least favorite is that we never get supply list ahead of time, and there is always something that they need that we can’t find because by the time we get the list, all the stores have limited selection.
My favorite part of back to school is new clothes for me and the kids! My least favorite is that I don’t always have enough money for all of the things that we need! I’m a teacher, so back to school means back to work for me, which of course, is always hard!
I HATE back to school shopping. what I hate the most, crowds! Too many people examining the pencil lead to see if it will write. Sometimes I just want to yell at them to pick up a package and move onto the markers. I wish it was easier to shop for school!
I love when school supplies go on sale for cheap this time of year. Not only can I stock up on stuff for my kids, but we also take the time to pick out items for the Operation Christmas Child boxes we put together each year.
My favorite thing is letting my son pick out his backpack. My least favorite thing is that really long sometimes outrageous list from the school. I mean how much glue does a 1st grader need (2 bottles and 22 glue sticks)? Most of it came home……
I love getting school supplies, hate getting back into fall clothes after the freedom of summer clothes!
I love back to school shopping. I home school, but we still have the annual shopping trip. I think the excitement of opening a new box of pencils, or using a brand new folder doesn’t disappear even when you are past that age!
Ohhh, Mellissa and Doug Monster Bowling set! Cute!
My favourite part of back to school shopping is getting fresh new things to use – I’ve loved buying notebooks and pens since I was a little kid.
As a university student, the part I dislike is the cost of textbooks.
favorite part is CLOTHES shopping!
Least favorite part is spending way too much money……lol
I love just walking into the school aisle and smelling that smell of new school supplies!
We homeschool year round, so we buy as needed! Let me tell ya, WE ARE IN THE NEEDED PHASE!!! Pleae, enter moi…
I love the great deals and the tax free shopping weekends!
I always loved the first day of school and the smell of new erasers…

My favorite part of shopping for school supplies is the SMELL! It reminds me of my freshly-packed school bag at the beginning of a new school year. That combination of waxy crayons, woodsy pencils, rubbery erasers, and the ink on paper…mmmm.
It smells like Potential.
I Hate searching for that odd colored folder the teacher requires. Shopping with 4 kids is hard enough as it is.
This looks cool. My kids are already in school, started July 21. They got most of what they needed this year but last year was a disaster. Walmart and most other stores around town had folders. Folders with pockets or folders with brads, but not folders with brads AND pockets like all the school specified. Picture aisles of frazzled parents mumbling and digging through everything searching for them.
I hate taking the kids clothes shopping. It never fails, they grow 4 inches over the summer and then I have to listen to them whine while they try on 2 dozen things
My favorite part of back to school shopping is finding the best bargains — if I can find 5¢ notebooks, I have a grin on my face for a week!
Wow! That site is so cool! I am going back to school and need supplies, so this would be a perfect prize for me! LOL Thanks for offering this prize!
I LOVE to sit on the floor and divide up everyone’s supplies. They put them in their backpacks, everything smells new and promising!
I could use these for my son. I have to say that I like to see the new products or designs. I also love the sales. It’s great to get school products at a cheap price.
My favorite part of back to school shopping is seeing all the fresh, clean notebooks and unsharpened pencils. It feels like a new start.
I love finding great deals. I don’t like not being able to find some of things on the list. Thanks for the great giveaway!
My least favorite part is the $$$ it costs for supplies and clothing.
My favorite part is that my husband gets a 1/2 day off once a month and when the kids are in school that means we have from about 11 AM – about 3:30 PM for just US and no kids. We never get out as a couple so the only time we can do couple things (lunch, a movie…) is when he has half days. It doesn’t work in the summer when they kids are home. Then it’s a family thing.
I love back to school shopping. Probably because I loved school so much. New clothes, new school stuff, what’s not to love? Enter me please. I have 2 in school this year. Thanks!
homeschooling mom of 6 here!!

I love surprising the grandkids with bags of supplies. Its so much fun listening to them ohh & ahh over everything! And thanks to the internet Grammy is “up” on the latest trends! They LOVE that! Thanks for hosting!
Unfortunately, my least favorite part about back to school shopping is the cost–I have 5 kids in school, plus one still too young. It all adds up fast.
The thing I love most about school shopping is how excited my son gets about paper or crayons or whatever. I just wish I got that excited about such things!!
