Back to school countdown * School supplies
This is the time to get ALL your school supplies for the whole year. Even if you don’t have kids in school!
- This is when all the pens and notebooks and binders are on sale at the cheapest price of the year.
- You can also get crayons and simple watercolors and glue and markers – you never know when you might want some simple craft supplies (keep them together in one drawer or shoebox, and you’ll be prepared for an invasion of small children, too).
- Restock your kitchen junk/utility drawer with tape and scissors.
- You can also pick up a couple of zippered pencil pouches to use for all those crazy cords, chargers and flash drives you probably haul around when you travel.
If you have kids in school, check the store and the school’s website for supply lists. Teachers we know prefer that you stick to the list (no boxes of 1000 crayons when they specified 24, please). They also appreciate an extra pair of scissors or box of crayons or ruler for the kids who really can’t afford all the supplies, or to replace what gets lost, broken or used up during the year.
