I am linking up for Throwback Thursday again! It is a little late on Thursday, as I am visiting my family, but I thought I would link up for a quick post. My throwback link is inspired by the first back to school savings ad I saw this week! It was for Office Depot. They have smelly markers half off! I LOVE Mr. Sketch (Smelly) markers. I haven't seen any others sales out there yet, but I am sure they will be coming soon.

am VERY sad and a little jealous that so many teachers are working in their classrooms and getting prepared for this year. I can't get into my room until August 8th and most of the days I am allowed to go to school, I will still be working at my summer job or out of town. So all of this wanting to get in my room turns into me purchasing items that I can put in my room once I get there! I know it doesn't really make sense...but it does to me! Unfortunately, I don't have or want to spend a ton of money so I have been on the hunt for deals. I have seen some awesome deals on some other blogs and thought I would share the things that I have found!
These are actually only about 4 inches high each! I found these at Michael's Arts and Crafts. I think they were about $2.00 each. They have little hooks on the bottom to hang items from them. They have little picture hooks at the top to be able to pin/nail them to a wall. They were plain white and I didn't know where I was going to put them in my classroom so I wanted to keep them simple. I put little dashes and dots around the edges, added some ribbon that I already had and they were done!!
Who can't have enough markers?! Usually Walgreen's is not my first choice for markers but this week they have markers for $2.00 a pack and then you get $2.00 Register Rewards. You can basically get 2 packs for $2.00, which is not too bad. Sometimes you can find these cheaper at Walmart and other stores, but I thought this was a good deal.
I know that another blog mentioned this deal a week or so ago. Staples has special deals for teachers. Teachers can purchase 25 packs of highlighters (2 Sharpie highlighters per pack), 25 packages of note cards, and 25 packages of pencils (8 pencils per pack). All of these items are 1 cent! I only bought the highlighters and pencils, but that equals 50 highlighters and 200 pencils all for $0.50!! What a steal!
PLEASE feel free to leave/share some of the deals and steals you have found. I know you are out there shopping too!

By the way, I still have some of those highlighters left! I have given them to my students the last two years, but there are still a few floating around my room!
Check out those summer school supply sales! I know I will have my eyes peeled for the next sale!
