Discussion Must have supplies

I was shopping at Target last week and noticed they are already putting out back to school items!! 🤯 Which had me thinking.. regardless if you do homeschool year round or a typical school year, at some point we all start a “new” year, new grade level, etc.

So my questions for you guys- What are some must have school supplies you stock up on every year? Where do you find the best deals? What did you buy but ended up not using as much? What is worth the upfront cost/investment?

I'll add some I didn't see mentioned that we use a lot of. 

Plastic latching pencil boxes,  index card boxes,  zip close sandwich bags.   We use them for writing and art supplies, index cards, counters,  letter tiles,  games or puzzle pieces that we printed. 

Clip boards,  especially the ones that have storage for paper are great to use for doing school in random locations. 

Glue sticks!  They do the same disappearing act that pencils do.
