Tomorrow might begin a “jackpot week” for shopping school supplies at Walgreen’s.  If you live where I live and your kids have a supply list similar to my kids, then there is an absurd amount of dry erase markers and more.  I have been slowly piecing things together over the past two weeks but I have a list of eight items on my list to get asap so they don’t run out.  I thought I would tell you what they are so that you can go to a Walgreen’s that’s not on Weidman and get your own stash while saving a bundle.

Little has to have highlighters.  Papermate Highlighters (6pk.) are $.39.
Little has to have colored pencils.  Penway colored pencils are $.59.
Everyone has to have multiple boxes of Crayola Washable markers.  They are FREE this week.
Bubba needs Fiskars.  $.79.
Little needs pink erasers.  With the coupon in the flyer they are 2/$.29.
And then there’s the 8 pks. of black dry erase markers that Bubba needs.  Corner Office Dry Erase Marker (4pks) are just $.99.  (I am trying to figure out if that’s better than the B1G1 Expo Dry Erase Marker sale at Office Max – There are  $5/3 coupons on the Expo display.)
Then there’s Kleenex – we need 7 boxes between our 3 children and, with the coupon in the paper two weeks ago, they are $.83 each.

Just so you know, you can also get a 12pk. of Cottonelle for $3.25, Liquid Coffeemate for $.45, and a 6pk. of hair clips for free.  Want to know more and where to print the coupons you’ll need? I got my info from the STL Mommy.

Bubba was lucky swimmer number two.  He went after dinner and, as you read earlier, closed down the pool with Puff.  Apparently they went on the lazy river and pretended they were going to Hawaii.  He loves to tell that story.

Little is going swimming this Sunday.  She keeps telling her Grandma and Grandpa about it.  It goes something like this, “You are staying all week with us.  You are going to stay until Friday.  Then on Sunday Mrs. Hough is going to take me swimming at her pool.”

I can’t tell if she is holding on to every moment with her grandparents OR if she is counting down for them to leave because that means she is just days away from swimming with Puff.  Any way you want to look at it, Julie comes out as an angel.  I am so very very thankful to call her friend.
