Dirt Cheap School Supply Tip

Are your kids constantly asking to borrow something to write with?

Do you have to buy school supplies with your own money?

If you answered yes to either of these questions than this is the tip for you!

(Side note: I should totally be on QVC....am I right?)

I discovered last year that if you search on Ebay for: Misprint office supplies

a treasure trove of potential pops up!

Music for the Middle School Classroom
