As a teacher I try to shop online as much as possible. I find most of the online stores give pretty good discounts compared to the physical stores. I’ve had good luck with cheapcher.com. I also like Freecycle when it comes to finding interesting items for the kids to do crafts with.

I like the advice not give in to the demands of the school for brand-name supplies. I have shopped at some online dollar stores for school supplies, and was pretty much satisfied. It’s like I would buy in a Family Dollar store. I liked 99centsdollarstore.com, because they had more of a variety for .99¢.

I had no idea B5 has another Thrifty blog, I tend to visit the Thrifty Mommy Blog quite a bit… Freecycle is interesting tip for school supplies, I link to them on my blog, but am sad that the group closest to me is in the next county. I don’t even try to get at the deals, some one else is sure to get them first.

I’d heard of Freecycle, but never would have thought to look there for school supplies. I agree with Anne-Marie too about office depot. You have to get their purple office depot brand glue sticks. (they dry clear.) I’ve tried some of the cheaper brand of glue sticks and they either dry up or don’t stick well (which is the point of glue!) Actutally all the office depot brand items are very good quality.
