Even though it’s only the beginning of August, our family has made more than one Back to School shopping trip. Between folders and notebooks, crayons and pencils, glue and pens….we definitely go through our fair share of school supplies over the course of one school year.
Walmart is always one of the stops on our Back to School shopping list each year. They are often the least expensive on a number of items, including notebooks, glue sticks, and folders. As an added bonus, starting in mid July, Walmart has begun offering over 70 participating products that each have 4 Box Tops. By picking up brands such as Nature Valley, Yoplait, or Cheerios, you’ll not only be providing your family with the brands they love, but will be providing valuable resources for your local school as well.
Since 1996, Box Tops for Education has helped schools across America earn over $400 million dollars! Earning cash for your child’s school is as easy as clipping the Box Tops off of your favorite food items. Plus, there are a number of ways to earn bonus points online as well, including:
- Earn Box Tops for your school when you shop online
- Enter for the chance to win thousands of bonus Box Tops Rewards each month for your local school
- Save each month with coupons for your favorite brands
- Try new recipes for your family using participating Box Tops products
You can find more information about the Box Tops for Education Program as well as how to help contribute to your local school by visiting the Box Tops for Education website.

My must have items are pencils, glue sticks and notebooks and folders–I actually still only need one more item from the school list which is an orange folder. Anyone know where to get this color? haven’t seen it anywhere cheap!

A sturdy long lasting backpack is necessary for my supplies. Glue, Crayola markers and crayons and non-cheapo pencils are also at the top of my list.

My son goes to a Montessori school so they don’t take typical “back to school” supplies. We do have to buy things like tissue and wipes for cleaning though. Our must haves for this year are uniforms though.
Ink pens and scissors and folders and stencils,
rulers and paper and number 2 pencils,
accordion envelopes tied up with string,
these are a few of my back-to-school things!
Note book filler paper, pencils & 3 ring binders
