When I was growing up, I thought one of the best things about the new school years was getting new school supplies.  I still love fresh, new school/office supplies. 🙂  And it’s that time of year again -school supplies are going on sale.  Staples has a few 1-cent offers.  (I forget what they are, as we don’t have a Staples around here.)  And I’ve heard that Wal-Mart has some pretty good deals getting started, too.  (We’ll find out about that one later today.  We’re running our errands late because of a big storm yesterday and a tree blocking the road.)  I even found a printable coupon for Bic pens.  This is a good time to stock up, not only for the school year, but also for gifts.
