News From Office Depot

Hi everyone! I have very good news regarding Office Depot: They have changed their Star Teacher discount program for the better. Here's a link that you can read about it: Office Depot Star Teacher Discount. I, for one, am very happy about this, particularly since Staples has chosen to have a much less generous approach to education lately. 

I'll be interested in seeing how Office Depot decides to handle multiple purchases of school supply items. Last year, they were okay with it, as long as we made it in multiple purchases. It was kind of silly: I would go and buy 10 folders and pay for them, walk out the door and put them in my car, and walk back in and purchase 10 more, etc. Staples wouldn't do that at all, so I chose not to purchase anything there. 

Last year, Target had a huge clearance sale at the end of their school supply season and I was lucky to have a friend buy me notebooks for 10 cents each: I'm hoping they'll have this again! Target already has school supplies out but not on sale yet: I'm holding out...

Have you started to check out school supplies yet? Or am I the only crazy one out there this early?

Oh! By the way, we got our couch - at CostCo of all places! Yay!
