EZ School Supplies

by Jennifer Donovan

b2sbutton.jpg

Don’t you just loathe those little lists that you are supposed to use to acquire the perfect supplies for your children? Some of the requests are quite specific, and end up being hard to find. This year my daughter goes to a new school. She won’t find out her teacher (and that teacher’s specific supply list) until the week before school starts, when we happen to be are on vacation. I’ve tried to pick up a few basics, and I’ve been assured that they don’t need much beyond a pencil for the first few days, but I know I’ll still probably be stuck scouring the picked-over back to school aisles for 3×3 post-it notes in watermelon red.

If you’re an online shopping fiend as I am, you might be happy to know that you can go to EZ School Supplies.com and enter your list, and they will pack it and ship it right to you!

We are giving one reader a pack worth $50 (including shipping) which contains all the basic supplies: a notebook, markers, crayons, a binder, scissors, glue, pencils etc., and some fun extras like a water bottle and highlighter, but if you don’t want to risk not getting your supplies in time, you can order now.

Shipping can take up to 7 to 10 days in this busy back-to-school season. If you order now and use the discount code EZMB088, you’ll save 10%. Then if you win, you’ll receive a credit up to $50. In fact, if you ordered from EZ School Supplies.com anytime this year, you are eligible to receive the credit back if you are selected to win.

Follow the directions at the Back-to-School Giveaway event post, and then leave a comment here. Winners will be drawn on August 13.

To recap: the winner is eligible for either a sample pack which will be shipped next week, OR a $50 credit back to an order placed this year. So if you order now (taking advantage of the 10% discount), you can cross “school-supply shopping” off your list and be eligible to win back what you spent.

With the way times and the economy is I think all moms could use a little help. The older your kids get the more help you need it seems like. Help with school supplies is always helpful as well as needed and the school supplies will never go unused, school supplies are handy in many aspects not just school.
