Free backpack at Staples.

Last year, I got all of Quinn's school supplies for less than $10 total using penny sales, coupons, and other shopping tricks. You can do it too! Just hang around here on Mommy's Wish List, and I'll try to make known every bit of School Shopping Intelligence I can find.

This week: Staples has a free backpack for your kid, and they have a few good $1 items as well. Read here to find out to get the full purchase price of a backpack refunded to your Staples Reward Account (which makes it free in other words). Not a Staples Reward Member? Sign up to be one here, so you can do the free backpack deal. See this week's Staples circular on-line here.

$1 Sale Items (each are limit 2 per customer):
Pentel Pens
Pentel Erasers
3-Hole Punch
Expo Dry Erase Markers
Staples 5.5 x 4 Notebooks
Mini Legal Pads
