Back to School Shopping with Staples Canada

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

Yeah, sing that loud and proud, parents. It’s a commercial that marks the beginning of the school year, with much enthusiasm. I hope you are smiling your way through back to school shopping! Yet, if that shopping isn’t done right, you might not be. 

My tips for Back to School shopping success:

  • Shop ASAP – shopping on the day before school and you’ll join a pack of crazed and frustrated parents trying to make their way through cramped aisles. You don’t want to be in that crowd!
  • Time of Day – shop in the early morning if you can. This makes it more relaxing and ensures there’ll be stock available. Tacking that list too late in the game when everyone else is and you might run into stock issues, ‘What do you MEAN you’re out of large sticks of glue?!?”
  • Shop at Staples – Everything you need, all in one place. One stop and done. Who wants to store hop to cross those items off the list? Wasting time, patience and gas? Not this gal!

staples canada back to school

Armed with a gift card thanks to Staples Canada, my oldest daughter and I went back to school shopping just after the store opened at 8am. Let me take you on our shopping trip!

The Staples store at this time was empty with the exception of one or two casual shoppers. The stock and aisles were mine! Equipped with the kindergarten and Grade 4 school must-have lists, I was able to shop in peace. There were no crowds, no rush.

Right when I walked in the door, I spotted all the the essentials. Crayons and glue – they were the first to go into the cart. Actually, the packages of wax and pencils crayons were an incredible price, so I tossed a couple extra of both into the cart, to replenish the stock at home. Did you know that right now is also the best time to equip your home office and craft supplies? Take advantage of the great pricing!

Next we had to get black and blue pens, and I loved all the options at Staples. Sure you could go with the standard, as kids most likely need. Yet, if you want quality, beautiful pens for your office – this is the place to get them. I enjoyed browsing at the entire selection, in awe of the choices available.

highlighters back to school staples canada

And onto highlighters, another ‘wow’ moment. Such a wide selection of colors and sizes! The school list we got is very specific in what the kids need, yet for some reason it just said ‘highlighters’ for this one.

Baffled by the sudden vagueness, I guessed that they meant yellow and standard. Yet, my daughter begged for the pack of mixed colors, which was tossed into the cart. Life is too short to not have fun highlighting words on paper, right?

kids scissors back to school staples canada

All 3 kids had scissors on their lists, so we took a peek at the selection of scissors. By chance or maybe someone at Staples is a Mom of girls – the pretty pink pair was on sale {ok, the blue and purple were as well}. Score for my pink-loving princesses! 3 of these went into the cart. 

pencil boxes back to school staples canada

Part of the excitement over back to school for kids is the new pencil box. I recall it myself, the decision over the perfect pencil box that matches your personality {maybe more than the need}.

My daughter immediately ran for the actual box-like styles, again on sale! Staples had a great selection of prints, so she took her time deciding on just the right one.

Backpacks, Hilroy duotangs and binders, erasers, pencils, sharpeners … pretty soon we had everything crossed off all 3 lists. Right down to the boxes of tissues listed as must-haves. Staples, you really did think of everything!

The staff were very helpful when I asked for some help finding that very specific brand/size/type/color item that was on the list. The entire shopping trip took about 35 minutes, yet with no stress. My daughter and I left Staples with absolutely everything the kids needed.

staples canada back to school shopping

Thing is, I took my time with this trip. I was able to browse items, compare lists and prices. This Mom no longer has supplies shopping to do and was able to easily get everything needed, all at one store. It has to be said – that was easy!

Indeed – It’s the most wonderful time of the year!!

    I have two school-age children now… (sometimes I can’t figure our how they got so old!) And around here, up until fourth grade, you send money with your kids and the school covers the needed supplies outside of inside shoes and a backpack. That being said, I am a freak for office supplies myself. Coloured paper clips? Coloured highlighters? Notebooks? Yes please. I use these things at work for a punch of colour and fun, because hey, who really likes coming to the bank? You need to do something different (and different matches my personality!)

    Have my two boys to shop for this year. On my list so far is crayons, pencils, coloured pencils, exercise books, binders, duotangs, paper, highlighters, rulers, erasers, glue…I’m sure there will be much more since I am still waiting on my older son’s school to provide a list. Ugh!

    For sure scientific calculators are best priced and best selection at Staples. I only have one son to buy for and it would be easier to list what’s not on the list! Staples is very handy and our store also has the school supply lists for local schools posted. I hope to get him a really good agenda..he needs it to keep organized!

    I find that I try to get in earlier to shop every year, if you leave it too long now all the good stuff is gone. I have one to shop for, my granddaughter and she certainly has her own particular likes and dislikes so the earlier the better. She wants a specific lunch box and knapsack and that’s just the start of it lol. We are on a strict budget so at the end of the day we usually are pretty savvy finding things she likes and if not them something just as good.
