BACK TO SCHOOL, ART & CRAFT SUPPLIES
Back to School Sales & Deals for New Supplies
Find anything from friendship bracelet beads, to new school supplies, books, backpacks, iPads, etc. etc. All at a discount for students. Best deal I’ve come across so far is their “Amazon Prime”-for-students. They get to have the Prime benefits for free, if I recall well, for 1/2 a year, after which it is offered for a very low rate. IDEAL. Get them to order (of freely borrow!!!) Kindle books instead of printed hard copies and you will save yourself hundreds of dollars on both books and shipping.
