Default School Supply donation ready to go !!!

I have been purchasing school supplies (well getting them free or almost free) for the past couple of months and will be bringing them to the collection spot tommorrow. I did an inventory and I am shocked at what I actually got !!! I let my friends kids go through things first and let them pick what they wanted, so now they are all set and they were most gracious about it. This it what is left to go

Wow, you did great! I bet all those kids you will help will be happy. I know our pantry said they had to turn away over 200 kids who came for the school giveaway. I imagine that the need for help with school supplies has grown.

It looks like we must have been shopping at the same stores. My CVS deals provided the majority of my items along with the items I got at Staples. I missed a few deals and my CVS never did get a few of the free items in. I still have rainchecks for them if they ever do. By next year I should be able to get even more since I will be an even better "couponmom" by then.

That's amazing! Bless you for being so generous with your time. You may have gotten them free or nearly free but I'm sure it took plenty of time to clip, sort, organize and search the deals and shop. I know there are many kids who will be very grateful for those.

Oh my goodness!! That's great!!! I read here every now and again and I am certain I am doing something wrong. I can't stretch my money anywhere near as far as everyone else here can!
