Coupons 101: Free School Supplies

Alternative Name
Good shopping and coupons are not only for groceries. This time of year you can get some screaming good deals on school supplies.

Even if you don't have any school age kids, this is the perfect time to stock up on pens, pencils, whatever you fancy. I will try and post the good deals I find, as over the next month or so there will be great deals.


If you find great deals I miss, please comment and let me know. Your email me at coupons [at] emmymom2 [dot] com

* CVS bucks are received when you use your free CVS card. They are basically like in-store credits. They usually have an expiration date (about two months I think--it will say on the receipt) So then just make sure you use that money to buy something you needed anyway and it is a great deal. Or you can even buy some of the stuff, then use your bucks in a separate transaction to get the rest.
