Out of school sale ?

Most people buy school supplies in August and there is a reason for this. It makes perfect sense. I however, have always been a non conformist. Not because I try to be but it is just how I am wired. Today for instance, Cindy ,after finishing her finals, accompanied me to Wal Mart to buy some cherry water (the most awesome-est flavored carbonated water ever) Since Cindy agreed to pick Michael up at school, we were in a bit if a rush but we just couldn't pass up a sidewalk sale. Long story short,I bought fourteen flex notebook/ binders for $1 each ( actual price $7)(most of Cindy & Michael's classes require one per class), four post it non dated wall scheduling calendars at $1 each ( regular price 8.99) many packs of post it note pads @ $1 a pack, and several other supplies( high lighters with post it strips inside, file folders,expander folders, and so on) for $1 . I even bought two paper shredders(regular $39) for $5 each ( yes we shred a lot)Something came over me. I just could not stop putting this stuff in the cart. Yes I will have to store it but what a savings !And hey, if I end up with extras, there are always organizations that I can donate them to or make up a school/ office supply basket as our families donation to the Church's Chinese auction. So you see, I am not crazy just maybe a bit insane .
