Not one penny exchanged hands – and the cashier said I was a smart shopper (considering the couple ahead of me spend $132 on nonsense…). Remember, there’s lots of stuff in the school supply section that everyone can use, like the shipping tape.

Here’s the original post with Target coupon links.  You can be a smart shopper, too!

Well, you can get school suppy freebies all over, but office supply chains do the rebate, and I’d rather not pay anything upfront!  Right now, Target has store coupons (means no tax on freebies!) for $1 off two Mead products and $1.50 off up & up school supply items.  Mead 4-pk folders are 50¢ each this week and the up & up notebook filler paper is $1.50!  Get 8 folders and a pack of lined paper for free with one coupon of each – print two each per computer!  Even if you don’t need any of this stuff, you might as well donate, since there’s no tax involved.
