And where are YOU buying your stuff?

[alv077]

Yup. I beat you all to it.

So where are you all shopping for back to school stuff?

[astrix]

Walmart. Has everything. Cheap Too :lol:

[LNahid2000]

I already bought most of my stuff when I was in Buffalo the other week. I bought a bunch of clothes at Old Navy since they had all their clearance stuff that was already marked down 75% at an additional 50% off. Each piece of clothing was under $5. I also bought some stuff from the Walmart Supercentre down there. And I bought a Linksys WRT54GC from Office Depot there for $20. That way, my room will be wireless even though Laurier isn't wireless in Rez.

I also got my laptop from Dell last week. I should be getting it next week. And I bought a Hauppauge USB2 TV Tuner from Circuit City for $55 after rebate even though it sells for $200 here. And I got an antenna for the TV Tuner for $30 on eBay.

Now all I have left to buy is toiletries, bedding, and some other little things.

[Alvito]

[Oni-kun]

I only buy notebooks. I don't buy stationary cuz a lot of those fairs and stuff such as yorkfest give out lots of free pens lol/

I'm going down to Buffalo tomorrow, do you think it'd be good if I went to Old Navy down there? I'm also going to Laurier, and am doing the same thing, I'm bringing up my wifi router so I can get wifi in Little House. I'm just looking for a small portable tv so I can play PS2.

Well the 50% off the ticketed price on clearance items sale is over but they'll still have clearance items at around 75% off the regular price. Most of the clearance jeans I saw there were priced at $9.99 and I got an additional 50% off that. I was lucky that they had that sale exactly when we had planned a trip there. I spent the whole week before we went on slickdeals looking for deals lol. BTW, the location at the factory outlet in Niagara falls is horrible. The cheapest jeans I saw there were $25.

I agree still... :lol:

[gq_fuzion]

for paper... depends where is cheapest... i've still got 400 sheets of lined paper in package

needing a new clipboard... but probably get the ryerson one this year... show some Rye High Pride

pens/pencils... i try and hold off til the university fair... i stocked up last year on a bunch of carleton university pens... the CGA pens work the best tho... gotta go get more of those

thats should be all the stationary i need

[Nhiem]

Staples for the 15% associate off...unless other places have something cheaper.

[nkwu]

Years of me just buying cheap lined paper becuaseof all the back to school sales and not using them leaves me with about 15 package sof linjed ppaper.

I usually go to staples becuase it's the closest to me. Sometimes Office Depot and wal mart.

[jason9945]

I'm moving out, and not to res, and I wont have a car. I've stocked up on heavy stuff at walmart and costco. My closet looks like a bomb shelter.

I need to pick up some other stuff, I'll probably go to Zellers for that.

I've scored a 26" tv and mini fridge for free, along with some other sweet deals. I think my best was a $60 set of t-fal pans for $5.25 at Zellers.

Were you taxed?>

[LNahid2000]

Were you taxed?>
Nope, not taxed because we had 5 people in the car. We went to Niagara Falls/Buffalo because relatives from England came over.

You were lucky! I just got back from Buffalo today, 4 people in the car, about $360 worth of stuff, we got taxed for everything at Canadian Customs, almost $60 in tax!

I know, I've been very lucky. Last time we went, we bought $150 USD worth of stuff. It was only me and my mom in the car and we weren't taxed. I've been 3 or 4 times and have never been taxed.
