Every week during the summer, read your local or area store ads on-line. Don’t forget to check any office supply stores such as Staples. You can register on-line with Staples, and they will e-mail you ahead of time so you know before the sale starts. Many times they will offer $.01, $.25 and $1.00 specials and are the best deals.
Check weekly ads for grocery stores in the area. You might be surprised to find 3-ring binders at lower prices than at your retail department stores or office supply stores. When you are grocery shopping, make sure to walk through the aisles for such supplies.
By comparing ads with other stores, you will save gas and have a plan when you leave to go shopping. You’ll spend less time, less money, and return home happy.
