Answer 1

Look around for deals.  For example, here are some cheap supplies available at the time I posted this:

Staples has free folders after discount in their August 3-9 ad: http://forums.slickdeals.net/showthread....

Staples will have free Elmer's glue after discount in their August 10-16 ad.  They'll also have 5-pack mechanical pencils for a quarter each,  150-packs of notebook paper for 9 cents each, and some other less amazing but still good deals: http://forums.slickdeals.net/showthread....

Walgreens has the following in their 8/3-8/9 ad this year (found them at http://forums.slickdeals.net/showthread.... ):

7-DAY COUPONS

School Supplies:

2 pocket folders $.09 limit 5

10 pack yellow no 2 pencils $.09 limit 4

6 pack Paper Mate Highlighters $.09 Limit 2

10 pack Paper Mate 1.2 pens $.09 Limit 2

Acco Paper Clips 100 pk $.19 Limit 2

Definitely look through ads for doorbuster deals like these.  I've only scratched the surface:  There's Ofice Depot, Office Max, CVS... who knows what deals are out there?

You can also check out Dollar Tree for some cheap stuff.
