Pencils and Rulers and Pens, Oh My!
I have always loved going shopping for school supplies. The unsharpened pencils, new folders, fresh notebooks. They are all loaded with possibility. A fresh start. I think that it is important for all kids to be able to have that fresh start at the beginning of the year.
Evidently the Big Box Office Chains share my feelings. Well…not exactly. They are running big promotions for common school items. Some are offering free items in hopes of attracting you to the store to buy other, bigger ticket, items. Others are offering items for just pennnies with hopes of getting you into the store to buy a bigger ticket item.
I hit up the three main chain stores and scored some free pencils and rulers, $.01 glue, $.10 notebooks, and $.20 ballpoint pens, and $.25 crayons and pencil boxes.
None of which, I plan to keep.
Tomorrow, Ladybug and I will be heading to the local women’s shelter to help ease their back-to-school burden. It’s not much, but it is something that I am thrilled to do. I got the fun of scoring the deals, and they will get the fun of passing these things out to kiddos that need them. It’s a win-win.

What a blessing that is! I never thought to find out if the woman’s shelter could use school supplies.
