Avery recently partnered with Box Tops for Education. Now, when you purchase Avery school supplies for the new academic year you also receive Box Tops coupons to clip and return to your child’s school to be redeemed for cash. Each school then uses the cash at their discretion to purchase new supplies, fund programs, or buy much-needed equipment, computers, etc.
I know you’d like to win this great prize package from Avery. As usual, I have several ways for you to earn entries. Of course, the more times you enter, the higher your odds of winning. You are not required to do any or all of these, but you can earn an entry for each one completed. Here are your options:
1) Leave a comment with something other than “enter me”. Tell me about the school supplies you like or give a tip about saving money or having fun with kids.
2) Tweet about this giveaway on twitter. If possible, include @thriftymommy in your tweet. Be sure to leave your twitter name or status url in the comment box. You can earn 3 tweet entries per day.
3) Follow @thriftymommy on twitter.
4) Blog about this giveaway or mention it on some sort of forum. Leave a direct url so that I can easily find the info for your entry.
5) Give this post a thumbs up on Stumble Upon, Digg It, add a link on Facebook, or some other way of promoting the giveaway.
6) Add Little Fun; Little Learning to your blogroll.
You can earn entries for each of these things that you do. Please leave a separate comment for each one. It just makes it easier for tallying entries and choosing a winner. Please leave an email address on your Blogger profile or in the comments so that I can contact the winner.
This contest ends Sunday, October 11, 2009 and is open to those with a US mailing address. Winners will be contacted via email and will have 72 hours to respond.
Good luck everyone!
Sorry for the weird colored image. I tried to upload it several times. Not sure what happened.
At our house, highlighters are a must, as are page tab stickers and white-out. Of course, pretty note pads and sticky notes are fun, too! Thanks for much for the chance to win this great kit.

I bought lots of school supplies right before school started thinking the kids would have a huge list. I got lots of great deals on them. Well turns out, they didn't have to bring a thing!!! We just moved to a new state. Well the supplies will come in handy for all of our crafts and also can use them for the Christmas Shoebox program at church.

I stock up on back to school supplies the year before when the items are drastically reduced.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite school supply is post it's. I love them.
ReplyDeleteI stock up on things when the stores first bring them out, they are usually on sale them
ReplyDeleteTwo supplies that I really stock up on, are folders and spiral notebooks. Not only do the kids use lots of these for school, but I also use them for home. They really help me keep organized. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI'm an office supply junkie. Head to your office supply store about 3 weeks after school starts for great binders at a reasonable price and stock up then for replacements and the following year.
ReplyDeleteJust posted about your great giveaway at My Organized Biz blog (http://www.myorganizedbiz.com/giveaway-for-office-supplies/). Hope this helps you get lots of entries.
ReplyDeleteThis package would be great for school supplies, but it would also be great for household use too. I would love to win.
ReplyDeleteI love all school supplies. I think it comes with the territory (being a teacher in another life BC(before children)) I would love to win this. Of course, my favorites are notebooks because that is how I keep myself organized. blessedw4@gmail.com

ReplyDeleteMy daughter has just started college. We are paying for her school, but she is trying to make it on her own for all her other expenses by working part-time. Since we're both on tight budgets, this would be a great thing to win!
ReplyDeleteI love going school-shopping. I love the feel of fresh notebook paper and the crisp smell of newly sharpened pencils!
ReplyDeleteorchestratenoise0726[at]yahoo[dot]com
My littleone loves spiral notebooks. She loves to write and make to-do lists...
ReplyDeleteThe most popular school supply at our house is the mechanical pencils. I swear my kids are hoarding them in their rooms or desks at school. I bought two packs of 50 when school started in August and I am down to about 12 of them.

I love having fresh new notebooks, and pens.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't live without post-it notes. It seems I use them for different purposes every day.

ReplyDeletehebert024 at aol dot com
I know somewhere I've seen pens that can be attached to key rings etc. I can find the markers and highlighters with ease, but no pens! It is so much easier for me to have a pen, black marker and yellow highlighter on one rope to free up my hands. Pockets are out of the question because they either fall out or jab me when I sit and my ears do not hold writing implements at all.
ReplyDeleteMy new favorite school supply is Zebra Caboodles Pencils. They work so well for standardized test bubbling!
