Back to School Supplies: Not Just for the Kiddos

While we are seeing these great prices on school supplies- it is also a good idea to take inventory of what you need and get organized on the cheap.

*For new couponers, this is a great time to get your system together as binders, accordian files, storage boxes etc.. are all at great prices, if not FREE. I always have a million stray coupons waiting to be filed in piles on our counter and I bought this check wallet for .60 on clearance at CVS and it is the perfect way to store coupons. I can even fit it in my bag to hold all the tearpads and blinkies I collect while shopping.

*I got these plastic accordian files for $1 at Target to hold all the receipts and tax information I will need at the end of the year.

*And I am stocking up on these Command hooks- which are on clearance at my CVS right now- for a variety of purposes. Most notably the one shown here- we have one of these on the inside of a kitchen cabinet to hold the mail keys and one in the garage to hold car keys.
What items have you found to make your life a little easier during the back to school sales? I’d love to hear your tips!
