📝 CVS School Finds 📝

Walking into CVS with my grandma always turns into a treasure hunt, especially when it's time for back-to-school shopping! This trip, I was amazed by the sheer variety of school supplies, and yes, I kept an eye out for those crucial details like prices and what makes each item a good deal. Many of you might be wondering, "how much is this?" when you see great finds, and I totally get it! One of the best ways I’ve found to save money on school supplies at CVS is to always check their weekly ad and use their ExtraCare program. They often have 'Buy One, Get One Free' deals or ExtraBucks rewards on stationery and office supplies, which can really add up. For instance, those BIC 'Plan It Sets' I found were such a clever idea – everything coordinated in one pack! While I didn't note down the exact price for each item, I always compare them to general office supply store prices, and CVS often holds its own, especially with promotions. It's smart to grab items like mechanical pencils and extra lead refills when they're on sale, as you'll always need them throughout the year. Beyond the amazing BIC pens, like the extra smooth gel pens that are quick-dry and smear-resistant (perfect for lefties like me, or just anyone who hates smudges!), and the colorful fineliner pens ideal for journaling and creative writing, CVS also stocks other essentials. I noticed a good selection of notebooks, binders, and yes, even various types of sticky notes! If you're specifically looking for 'CVS sticky notes,' you'll likely find a few options from different brands. They might not always be prominently displayed, but they're usually in the office supply aisle. I always recommend checking the dollar section too; sometimes you can find fun, budget-friendly sticky notes or small organizers there. My personal tip for making your school supply shopping more practical and affordable? Make a list of exactly what you need. Then, prioritize buying items that are on sale first. Don't forget to look for multi-packs, as they often give you more for your money, like those packs of eight extra smooth, quick-dry gel pens in assorted colors. Also, think about versatility. A set of fineliner pens isn't just for school; it's great for adult coloring books, bullet journaling, or even just sprucing up your notes to make studying more engaging. Happy hunting at CVS, and I hope you find some awesome deals too!
