I'm just wondering how much is everyone stockpileing school supplies for there kids for the year sence the prices are so cheap for supplies..

I have 4 kids and this would be the first year of me stockpiling school supplies..i'm just wondering what a good amount of each item would be good to last all year long... glue,pencils,note books,crayons, etc...

I was so stocked up last year that I really didn't need to buy anything for this year, but I did because of all the .01, .05, and .10 deals.

We homeschool and go through a TON. Even if we didn't I'd still get a lot because we'd use them...all my kids like to draw; that makes 5 cent note books and 1 cent pencils priceless!

Yeah i went to walmart last night and they had

pencils 10 pack .47 cents each
crayons .17 cents each
box of erasers .97 cents
glue sticks and liquid glue . 20 cents each
pencil boxes .57 cents each...

I know this aint as cheap as alot of you are getting but that still is a great deal i wanna stock up for my kids for the whole year plus buy extra's to donate to my sons classes ....

I was thinking 25 of each for my family but i'm thinking if i should get more then that

I bought a ton, but my oldest daughter had two friends over yesterday and I gave them each a big stack and there's a neighbor girl who I plan to give a bunch to as well, so in the end I think my stockpile will be severely depleted when my own three get through stuffing their bags.

I'll buy a bit more of the .01, .05 and .10 stuff and then hope for some good deals on clearance. The two friends still have the backpacks I gave them last year, so I'll just keep all the kids in mind when I go and see clearance stuff.

I quite literally can never have too much stockpile'd, I know too many kids.

I always buy extra crayons and markers. I have three little kids and they love to color and make projects. This year I was smart and stocked up on the glue and glue sticks because those seem to go so quick. I will have to check out the rest.

I don't have anyone in school. I did stock up on the pens because as a nurse I am constantly writing at work. people are forever " borrowing " pens and forgetting to return them. I had q's for the $1.00 off 2 bic sticks pens and found them on sale for 2 10 ct. pks./$1.00, so I got 22, or 23 pks for free.
I also caught the notebook paper on sale for $0.19 per 300 sheets and bought a dozen.
Envelopes were on sale for 8 boxes for $1.00 and I god 16 boxes. ( It was an unadvertised sale, I think because they were an off brand....
Elmers was on sale for $0.05 per bottle and I stocked up on that.
Scotch tape was on sale for 3/$1.00 and I got 6 rolls I believe. I don't use them at Christmas but I do lots of q trading and envelope mailing and like to secure the larger bundles with tape.
I guess that was about it.

I'm a teacher, so my closet looks a little ridiculous right now! I can't wait to load up my car and take it to my classroom so I can reclaim space in my closet at home! ... that being said, I didn't do any hardcore stockpiling of anything except the folders (100) and notebooks (50) which I distribute to my class (I have 3 classes, so 40 kids) and use for myself throughout the year. I probably should have gotten more of those bad boys!

[couponmom25]

Yeah i'm thinking of getting like 50 of each item that way i will have enough to last all year for my boys and if my kids teachers needs anything

Jenlovestoteach that is so sweet of you to buy stuff for your class room

thanks so much for everyons advice.. please feel free to keep posting i'm sure there are others wondering the same thing as i was

We stockpiled on the mechanical pencils at Wags because at .05 per 5 you can't beat that deal. We picked up 35 packs. With the free Bic pens via using coupons I stockpiled on those, also the .09 cent pens at Wags. I don't think we will need pens now for another 5 years.
