When it comes to school supply deals, don't be a procrastinator. The deals are still plentiful at the office supply stores, but elsewhere the super-low prices are starting to disappear.
In another week or two, all those penny, nickel and quarter deals will all but vanish, though you'll still have a few weeks of clearance at the big-box stores.
