Secrets of a Discount School Supplies Sleuth AKA Molly Money Bags
Why a post on discount school supplies? I know a lot of people who read
this site are stretching to make ends meet. Some of you are students, others
are parents, and all of you appreciate getting good value for your money. So I
dug up 30 places to get discounted school
supplies.
One thing you can count on is that the school supplies isles in stores are
already crowded with shoppers reaching over and around one another for
discount school supplies.
Luckily for those of us who dread the thought of circling parking lots in
search of a parking space, being bumped and shoved by others, and standing in
checkout lines there’s another option. I recently ran across a news story in
which BigResarch.com said the
percentage of parents who will shop online this year is expected to increase
by 40.8 percent over last year. Frankly, I love the convenience of shopping
online and I am glad to see it make sense to others too.
When I started researching where to buy discount school supplies online and I
found out some pretty interesting things. Like, did you know a lot of the
computer makers such as Dell and HP have places that they don’t link to from
their home pages, but where you can get deep discounts on computer equipment?
I didn’t, but if a computer is on your back to school supplies list, check out
these links to their discount stores.

It turns out that the same is true for office supply stores. Lots of them even have sections for “unadvertised” items and clearance items. This means once you know where to go, you can save heaps of money, so lets go take a look at where to get discounts. In fact if you saw theComputers4SURE Clearance Center link under computers, that’s actually an OfficeDepot company. Now, the thing is there are more sites like that lurking out there with supplies like folders, pens, pencils and more.
