Free and Cheap School Supplies

You know how expensive it can be with new school supplies, so I will help you folks with kids.

If you don’t know, save some money by shop during tax-free weekend. If you are an educator, check out this teacher appreciation week.

Here’s a hot $10 off 20 coupon from OfficeMax. However, Office Depot or Staples will take OfficeMax coupons too. I suggest you print out about 5 coupons and ring up about $20 at a time…however many times you want.

How about this $5 off 50 from K-Mart. Use it at Wal-Mart too.

Also, check out Google Back to school promotion with Google Checkout. Paypal also has their Back to School special.
