Cheapest School Supplies?

Hi, It is that time of year again when the school booklist's come out. This year I have 3 kids to buy so I am looking for somewhere cheaper than the school suppliers for both stationary and text. Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks.

    http://www.bookdepository.co.uk

    does have some school books

    For Stationary your best bet is Officeworks which always has some crazy clearances on pens, paper and equipment!

    check with http://booko.com.au/ for text books….bookdepository is usually cheapest, but not always…..

    Wow, already?

    I think Big W has Back to School sales every year, or at least they did 10 years ago

    I have been busy looking at all your suggestions, but also fishpond. Are they any good?

    There is also OfficeMax, they supply all the stationery for my class/school.

    For books, head to Academic and General in Melbourne. (just google it)
    Depending on what school you go to (they ask at the checkout) you can a discount on new and second hand books. I got 10% off my books so all is good!

    Just went into Officeworks yesterday. You can give them a list of the stuff you need, and they will pick and pack the items for you, for free! you just pay on pick up.

    I think most newsagencies do it for free these days.
