There are a few items on the school supply list that prove to be challenging to find at a good price. Example: Elmer’s LARGE glue sticks. Not the 0.24 oz small glue sticks that we can regularly find around $0.25 each on sale. The name brand BIG ones – normally around $1.50 EACH in stores.
How many would you think my 3 kids are required to have for school? One needs 8, another needs 5 and even the middle schooler needs 4. I need to find 17 of these total – and if I paid normal prices, that would be $25 in glue sticks alone. Or almost $18 per dozen.
I’ve had the best luck ordering these online. And this year, they’re even lower than what I paid last year!
That works out to $0.67 per stick – better than half off retail price!
My kids need enough of these to last them through the school year, and I’ll buy them all now and hold some of them at home to get the best pricing.
