A HUGE thanks goes out to Stephanie (Stephlw here on the blog) for putting together the following list of office store back-to-school deals again this week!  She is a teacher and puts together a list for her fellow teachers during the summer when the back-to-school deals are so great.  She graciously shared her list with us this week.
