Walmart and target are always so low in the summer, we actually get alot there for things we do during the year. I mean like bottle glue for a quarter, markers for 80 cents, can't beat that.

have you thought about going to Office Depot or Office Max. During their back to school sales, you can usually find some really good deals, and you may even be able to work something out with the manager for a better deal. Like advertising in your monthly newsletter.

I am in the process of revamping our school store - and the teachers are looking that we stick with school supplies and stay away from the novelities and toys that we also sell. Right now we are selling pencils, erasers, etc. from Geddes, but would like to offer notebooks, scissors, etc. Does anyone do this and would like to share where they purchase them? I am finding that it is hard to find them with good prices. Thanks!!
