Save on Back-to-School Supplies

It's not too late to save money on back-to-school supplies. Sometimes the best sales are after school starts.

I'm a bit of a last-minute Lucy, and if you are like me, then you are probably running a little late with back-to-school supplies shopping. Don't worry—sometimes the best sales are saved for first few weeks of school.

The price of school supplies adds up quickly, so here are a few places that are still offering great back-to-school savings on the supplies your kids need most.

Staples offers both instant and easy rebate savings. Here are just a few of the school supplies on sale this week. Seventy-page, one-subject poly-covered notebooks are 10 cents each and an eight-pack of No. 2 yellow pencils are one cent. A 12-pack of pink arrowhead cap erasers costs one cent and a six-pack of Staples brand yellow highlighters is $1. All backpacks are 50 percent off, including brands Hurley, Reebok, Jansport and more.

has one-size-fits-all stretchable book covers for 99 cents and a buy-one-get-one-half-off sale on Mead Five Star three-subject notebooks. All book totes, backpacks and messenger bags are 50 percent off.

Aaron Brothers is having a 50 percent off sale on the entire stock of Crayola supplies. All Prismacolor art supplies, the entire stock of paper pads and paintbrushes are also on sale for 40 percent off.

Office Depot is having a sale on wire-bound memo books at five cents for a three-pack. Office Depot-brand three-subject marble composition books are 25 cents each. A six-pack of mechanical pencils costs $1.

Big congrats to you Jeff. Please fill us in (Crowne Plaza Redondo Beach and Marina Hotel andRead More Visitors Bureau) on the hotel shuttle. Also, how do we get Riviera Village's newest hit, Rock N Brew to be called Redondo Beach vs. Torrance??

Jeff, I am so pleased that you will be representing the residents of District 1 for the next fourRead More years.

Congrats to the boys and girls baseball/softball teams, showing the Redondo strength of body andRead More mind! Reading all sorts of good things about your teams! Great going players and coaches from the Crowne Plaza Redondo Beach and Marina Hotel staff!

And here I thought I needed to Drive to San Diego to experience craft breweries and bars. Nice job.

Mary, I read your posts throughout the Measure A campaign. You may want to re-read your posts whenRead More you cast stones about "dividing a city". There wasn't much substantiation to any of your posts-- mostly just attacks on Jim Light. Do Aspel and Ginsburg condone this sort of behavior since you are such a strong voice for them?

http://www.prado2013.com/ Voters should read this before casting their ballot. Dianne Prado,Read More former District 1 candidate, exposes the electioneering, intimidation and cronyism of this campaign.

Perhaps we should just turn our heads and let the City Council violate the law. Is that what youRead More would do Mr H? The City Charter is the law of Redondo. The Council chose knowingly to violate it. When the judge found them in violation, the same Council doubled the costs with a frivolous appeal. This time three judges threw it out. Had the Council followed the Charter, there would be zero costs. If you want to hold anyone accountable, it should be those who cast the vote to violate the City Charter and disenfranchise the voters of Redondo. You should not hold me and the over 200 residents who contributed to the lawsuit to uphold the City Charter responsible for the Council's illegal action.

We are still waiting for someone -- perhaps the author of this post -- to make a coherent,Read More fact-based argument in favor of Mr. Diels. With all due respect, conclusory hopes and dreams of "reform" will not get 'er done in the face of Mr. Diels' voting record as City Councilman. Thankfully, one good thing has come of the author's blog post. The facts and blog posts have vindicated the honesty and integrity of the campaigns run by Dawn Esser and Chris Cagle, against a baseless attack by Mrs. Diels. If I had a magic mand, I would wave it and change the City Charter so that Dawn and Chris could share the position of Treasurer.

Mr. Azouz: Thank you. I am glad some neighbors find value in what I do, but more importantly IRead More respect the fact that you take the time to do your own homework. If you have expertise in a particular area that can benefit the City, feel free to contact me off line. That goes for anyone. After the election, I have a "big idea" that I want to promote for our City. When Bill Brand and Steve Aspel both agree that my idea is promising, then I think we are on the right track. I'll be curious to learn what the City Manager has to say.

Correction - that's his email. Jimlightforcouncil.com is more fun! Although I'm sure he'd love toRead More hear from you at either address!
