Think 'charity' with these great prices on school supplies

By Kathy Haines July 22, 2009 12:34 AM

Today I got 24-pks of Crayola crayons (3) for $1 at Publix. How can you not...33 cents each!? Then I bought Papermate pens at Walgreens for $0.19 a 10-pk. Filler paper and notebooks were free with 'Extra bucks' at CVS. Staples has some incredible sales on school supplies right now.

Why not fill a few of the $5 backpacks everyone is raving about (see how to get them free at Staples here) and put them away for the holidays. Then when you run into an opportunity to donate to needy children, you will be prepared, without breaking the bank.
