Update: Walmart added 7/27/10
From now until early September-ish I’ll post a weekly list of great deals on school supplies. If you don’t have kids, stock up on those “office supplies” that you use. And, don’t forget to pick up a few extras for your local food pantry. Most of them offer free school supplies to their clients. One rule of thumb I use is — if I wouldn’t buy the brand for my family’s use, I don’t buy it for the food pantry either. Some school supplies are better quality than others, and I’d hate to have someone who couldn’t afford it get a new school supply kit that only lasted a month or so.
