Back-To-School Series Week 7: Week of 8/18

Week 7 of the Back-To-School Series is here.  I am personally thinking of doing only one more week of this.  I have plenty of goodies to last all year and then some!  I did enjoy buying these goodies though!!  It's always refreshing to buy something outside of the usual spectrum!!   My new excited coming is Black Friday! I know we are only 96 days away, but I am still excited!  I went to Staples and OfficeMax this week! I was disappointed I didn't get the adult scissors for $0.50 at Staples and the penny items among other items weren't there at OfficeMax.  My punishment for going on Fridays!  I will be doing it again this week because of the availability in my schedule to travel that way.

2013 Back-To-School Series Week 3: Week of 7/21-7/27

This week, Week 3,  I went to Staples & OfficeMax.  I had to redo my $5.00 Minimum because only one item that was on my list was in stock.  At least I did get all my penny items!! The weeks are winding down and I am very excited to start figuring out the goodies for the Back-To-School Giveaway!!  Really Excited!! I am enjoying buying Office/School Supplies for my stockpile.  I believe it's because it's something different and once a year to enjoy buying.  However, the weekly drugstore sales have went south until this "Back-To-School" frenzy calms down!
