Yep, it’s time for back to school deals again!!
In general, the great stock up prices for most items happen throughout the year. BUT, with school supplies you’ll want to stock up on enough over the next couple of months to last you ALL year long!
So what’s a good price for school supply items? Here’s a chart of what I believe are good “stock up” prices for school supplies based on what we have seen in previous years.

Thanks for the list, it’s very helpful. Any ideas on a good price for the jumbo pencils (i.e. Ticonderoga’s “My First Pencil” for beginners)?
Wish stores would put binders other than 1-inch at a good price; I have to buy some 1/2-inch binders for school and they’re hard to find at all here, much less at the sale prices for 1-inch. Go figure.
I’ve seen Ticonderoga pencils for as little as 99¢ for a 10-pack (with a $1 coupon), but for Ticonderoga, really any discount is a helpful one!
This is very helpful. Thank you!
I would also like to know what the best price will be for the ticonderoga pencils
