Back to School with Office Max

Office Max has some fun back to school supplies this year. I like shopping at Office Max because their items are more fun and durable than the run of the mill stuff from the big box stores (y’all know who I’m talking about). Emma is going to school from home this year, but I still wanted to go back to school supply shopping. We only have 3 more years of back to school shopping and I’m going to enjoy every moment of it.

Office Max sent me the items pictured above to test out and see what we thought. Em really liked the binder, folder, and spiral notebook. I really liked the sparkly accessories so it was win win for both of us.

 

The binder is durable with a 2 inside pockets.

Look at this sparkly stapler. Isn’t it pretty. I dug right into the package so I could try out the stapler, but it doesn’t come with any staples in it :( So bummed! I will have to pick some up next time I’m at the store so I won’t be able to comment on how well it staples until later, but it sure is pretty sitting on my desk. Who doesn’t love some sparkle in their life???

These are sparkly pretty as well.

Such fun back to school supplies. Office Max offers so much more than what they sent me. I have been looking for a unique USB for Em to keep her school. I done a little search on officemax.com and found this little treasure for her. She is the opposite of pink and frilly so I figured this had to just about be perfect.

Be sure to watch the flyers in the Sunday paper for the Office Max ads. There is always great deals listed during this time of year. I love their 1 cent deals. Make sure you stock up and if you have extra you can always donate to a local school.

Do you like buying back to school supplies?

Cheers,

My engagement/wedding bands.Yes, I know, serious moisturizer is needed.   My engagement ring and wedding band are pretty small, which is fine, most of the time. I have to remember that having a large diamond would mean not being able to travel. It’s all about choices and I choose travel, but sometimes, just sometimes, I …Read More

Editing PDF Files

Editing pdf files is something that I have struggled finding the right software for. In my previous life as an admin assistant I always had to scan the document on a printer that had some pdf conversion software on it. That software sucked! It would convert the pdf to word, but it left it a …Read More
