As I mentioned last week, I am trying to get all of the items for my son’s first grade school supply list under $15. Until school starts, I will be updating weekly on my success.
His school is very specific about the brand of some items on his school supply list. Here is the exact list:
Quantity Description
1 Large Backpack
1 Crayola brand crayons – 24 count (No larger amounts please!)
6 7 oz glue sticks (Large glue sticks or twice as many small ones)
8 #2 pencils
1 Pink eraser
1 Box markers – Mr. Sketch or Crayola Classic brand (Broad Tip)
1 Box Addition and Subtraction flash cards for use at home
1 Fiskars brand scissors
2 Rolls of paper towels
1 Jumbo box of tissue
1 Container of wetHAND WIPES-Not Lysol or Bleach… used for cleaning hands
1 Gallon size box of Zip Lock bags
1 Plastic pencil box
1 Wallet size photo of student
1 Ream of copy paper – white
1 Package of either 7 oz cups, 5 oz cups or paper napkins
This past Saturday I bought the following at Meijer:
24 count box of Crayola Crayons--.25
3 glue sticks--.75
Total--$1.00
Last week we bought:
CVS—large box of tissue—$0.06
Walgreens—Fiskars scissors--$0.99
Office Depot—Mr. Sketch Markers--$0.00 (cost 7.99 but will mail in for a 7.99 rebate)
Target—6 glue sticks--$1.20 (I will still need to buy more because I am 18 oz. short of what is required
Total--$2.25
Our total cost thus far--$3.25
I am hoping to swing by CVS and Walgreen’s and pick up some more deals early in the week.

Good job!! As a former public school teacher, I commend you on following the school's instructions for specific brand & count on the markers, crayons, etc.
It always drove us teachers nuts when we'd ask for a 24 count box of crayons and one kid would show up with that huge box of 64! LOL
