I checked all the pencils, mini highlighters and chain link pens that i bought as fillers. So far i have 145 pencils, 72 mini highlighters and 6 chain link pens. Does anyone other than myself have this high amount. I will be making mini gift baskets for the kids, which none are mine, but i have to get rid of these.

I'm donating to the school. Often the teachers are spending OOPfor supplies for the kids.

Send them to the soldiers over sea's. One of the hot requested items is stationary/pens/pencils.
And no...I don't have that many because I've got 3 kids here that use them.

[M_M_S]

My best friend teaches 4th grade...she gets a constant supply!

[sugarprincess]

I don't, I always end up doing candy as fillers but I am going to start doing pencils and such cuz I am going back to school in January and it will come in handy and we definitely don't need any candy, we still have leftover from Halloween .

[jlaporte]

Sounds good. Sadly with my boys wether i use candy or pencils as filler I never actually see them once I get home. I remeber buying them but they seem to diseapear, I used to keep a can cozy on my hutch full of pens and such but again...they r empty...
for those who donate to teachers/schools/overseas what a great thing to do.I give my kids teachers stuff nearly weekly and it really does help them out.

I have 1 halloween pencil as of now, my son took them to school and "shared" them! You have a ton!! ;-)

Great idea!!!

[kmeiding]

I only have a couple pencils and had at least 13 highlighters. I need to get at least one more highlighter for my dad - he's a pastor and he's giving them to his confirmation students to use in their Bibles.

i had a HUGE pile of em going over the summer. I went to so many parades and other free festivles with my kids...so they were many and pens and water bottles..chapsticks...etc etc...now I look at my poor empty coozies....man id swear the kids eat em

what I do is keep the real good ones in my room and swear that if they touch em im going to tp there room they lauphed. Still got my nice pens tho

[eddieandpeaches]

I am using the candy,pencils and cups for gifts for my kid's classmates.

[OttoFamily]

I just bought 73 christmas pencils yesterday!! LOL I couldn't believe it but somehow it worked out that I MADE money off the deals so I just ran with it. I also came home with 36 bags of the Ricolas... don't know what to do with those either.

I am doing the same thing, handing them out at the Holiday parties at school.

[Basketlover]

My kids have way to many pencils, so I am using the 50 cent Cheese its, ect for fillers.

[texasstar]

One of my customers is a teacher and she is overjoyed every time I hand her a bag of pencils!! She uses them as prizes and she also said she goes through ALOT of pencils each year. Donate Donate Donate

[holymothert]

I am also including the christmas pencils in a little gift bag/stocking for my son's class this year. Any extras I have will be donated to the teacher. I kept all of the halloween pencils for home use as I like those better

[srvymaster]

Yup, not that many but I've been getting rid of them. I handed out the Halloween ones for trick or treaters. I had a bowl full of stuff: candy, granola bars, chapstick, pencils and toothbrushes. All the pencils and toothbrushes were gone by the end of the night... so was the candy. It was so funny to see the kids reactions. One kid went back to his Dad, who was waiting on the sidewalk, waving his toothbrush and singing, "I got a toothbrush, I got a toothbrush"! Hilarious! His Dad was like, "Uh, cool?"

I'm just starting my Christmas/Winter pencil stash now that will go to my daughters school for christmas/winter gifts.

[shanabme]

I get the plastic cups when those are 8/$1 then the pencils and pens get put in those - when a cup is full, i give it my neighbor who teaches 2nd grade or to the preschool teacher down the street. Whichever I see first.

But is it just me using the Nexus mousse as a filler this month? With the coupon in the November Wags book it's free ($3.49 here less $4/1 Q) but adds another coupon/RR I can use. I've been getting those 2 and 3 at a time. I've got about 30 of those so far and I do use that.

[arlene60]

I just started doing the RR today and need a few questions answered, if you can help. When you get the RR the lady at wg told me that it will only print off one RR if you buy 2 of the same things in 1 trassaction. Is that true? Also, she said that if I do the ricloa RR and buy same product with it, I won't get RR. As you can tell, I'm a newbie. The girl that got me started on coupons is out of town and I need answers. She has created a monster!!! thanks for your help.

Your dad's gotta be a Lutheran Pastor. Neato! Thanks for sharing with them!

[Stingy Diva]

I bet the Ricola would be used by food banks with all the colds and stuff that come with this time of year!

That's a great story!

[SarahD]

I'm a teacher, so I put them in my room! I'll never have too many!

Yes she was right. That's why everyone does multiple transactions. And using Ricola RR to buy another Ricola will prevent you from receiving another RR. (or any other product you get RR for) HTH.

You can donate them to your local Food Pantry or to the Troops.
