Although School Supply season doesn't officially begin until the end of July/beginning of August, I couldn't resist getting started a little early and posting some pre-season Amazon deals.
Can you do better on the cost of school supplies at Staples and Office Depot? On some items, absolutely, but you need to wait for the sale and get in the car. For some of you busy Moms & Dads, the trade-off between the time spent loading your kids in the car, going through the store circular, matching it up to your list, cruising up and down the aisles looking for the sale items (and hoping they are still in stock), added to the cost of gas is just not worth it if you can pick up most of what you need sitting in your sweats in front of your laptop in your air-conditioned living room. The advantage of time and convenience over money is completely a personal choice. I can tell you that the majority of the deals that I have researched here are the very best that Amazon has to offer. There are still some deals that routinely come up every year that haven't reared their heads yet, i.e. the really good Sharpie deals and the under-$3.00 Crayola items are not out yet.
Many of items listed here are Amazon Add-On items, which means that the item ships free with a $25 minimum order for Prime members (and its price counts toward that $25) or it ships free with a $49 order if you don't have Amazon Prime. You can order a bunch of Amazon Add-On items together (or multiples of the same one) to get to your $25 or $49 minimum and score that free shipping easily.
