Hi everyone, it's Alejandra. And welcome to the part 2 of my back to school supply haul.
-
So yesterday I showed you the best school supplies I got from Dollar Tree for under $20.
-
And today, I'm going to show you all the best school supplies I found at Wal-Mart for just under $20.
-
And I'm so excited we're doing this video because I just found so many
-
awesome things at Wal-Mart and I'm just so excited to share with you what I found.
-
So just one last thing before I get started. Tomorrow, I'm going to show you the best school
-
supplies I found for under $20 at Target. So that's going to be part 3. OK. So let me
-
show you what I found at Wal-Mart.
-
OK. So the first thing I found at Wal-Mart was this awesome binder. So I have never heard
-
of this brand. It's called Xtrm, X-T-R-M. So I don't know if this is a Wal-Mart brand
-
binder or what. But this seems like a really nice binder. In fact, I feel like this is
-
the better binder of Wal-Mart because it just seems so durable. It comes in so many different
-
colors. They had hot pink, white, black, lime green, and I think blue, and I think a few
-
other colors. With the supplies I got, I feel like white just makes all the colors pop which
-
I'm going to show you in a second. I really wanted hot pink but I feel like it was too
-
colorful like it did not match at all. So that's why I got white.
-
But it has a nice like plastic thing in the front so you can slip something in. And then
-
the inside, of the binder rings are on the back spine which is really nice because the
-
papers don't move when you open the binder. And the rings, they open and they close so
-
nicely just like the Better Binder. So yeah, I feel like this is a really nice binder.
-
So this is the one inch. It was $4.97, which I guess that's a pretty decent price for a
-
binder, a binder of this quality, is a good price. All right. So let me just line this
-
up so we can make this video look and nice and organized. OK. So that's the first thing.
-
The second thing I found was a pack of paper. So yesterday I showed you a pack of 150 sheets
-
of paper from Dollar Tree for a dollar. This is the same amount of paper for $0.82. So
-
it's $0.18 less than Dollar Tree. So I thought that was a great find. So if you're looking
-
for lined paper, Wal-Mart is your best bet because it's cheapest here and it's actually
-
the same price at Target which I'm going to show my Target haul tomorrow.
-
OK. So the next thing I found were these awesome Color-Coded Avery Dividers in pretty colors.
-
See, I wanted to get the hot pink binder but I feel like with these dividers, it didn't
-
really match that well. It just didn't look very nice. So I feel like the white is nice
-
with these fun dividers. So the reason why I like these dividers, well one thing, it
-
fit the price because I was - there were cheaper dividers but I feel like I didn't really want
-
skimp out on dividers. Like if I only had 20 bucks to spend, I would spend it on nicer
-
dividers because, I don't know, you just want to turn a tab nicely. At least I do. So I
-
spend a little bit more in dividers.
-
But anyways, I like how they're plastic. They're not paper, which means you can reuse them
-
year after year and they're not really going to get damaged or like tear or anything. And
-
plus, you can just take your label maker and on the front divider, I would just label like
-
Math, Science, Social Studies, blah, blah, blah with my label maker. And because this
-
is plastic, the label would just peel off really nicely and so you can just reuse them
-
each semester or each year. So yeah, so those are the best dividers I found at Wal-Mart.
-
OK. So let me just scoot this over so you could see the pretty colors. I think it's
-
just me that wants to see the pretty colors but it just looks more organized.
-
OK. The next thing I found was a 1 Subject notebook for $0.17. Like how crazy $0.17 for
-
this? I thought that was awesome. And it has the perforation on the edge. I don't know
-
if you can see that. And it has the dark lines which I absolutely love. I said in yesterday's
-
video that I was crazy about dark lines because your notes just look more organized when the
-
lines are darker and the pages filled out. That sounds really weird. But anyways, I thought
-
this was an awesome notebook and it came in like any color you could think of. I feel
-
like yellow matched really well with this binder that I was putting together. So yeah,
-
so $0.17, it's $0.83 cheaper than Dollar Tree. So Wal-Mart just had amazing prices.
-
OK. The next thing I found that I'm just like crazy about is this fun composition book and
-
a fun striped rainbow pattern. And it was a little bit more expensive. It was a $1.97.
-
The other - like the regular composition notebooks, I think that just like the black and white
-
marble ones, I think those were either $0.50 or $0.97. I think they were $0.97. But I feel
-
like - all right, if I only have 20 bucks, I'd rather spend a dollar more and get a fun
-
composition notebook that I'm going to enjoy taking notes with. So this had dark lines
-
also. They're not as dark but they are dark. Can you see that? Yeah, they're not as dark
-
but they're still dark. So anyway, I feel like that composition notebook was really
-
fun.
-
OK. The next thing I found was this pencil case. So they have a lot of different pencil
-
cases. This was actually the cheapest one. And I tried out the zipper. The zipper opens
-
and closes really nice and smoothly. And yeah, I felt like $0.97, that's such a great deal
-
for a pencil case and it seems like it's good quality. It has a nice window in the front
-
so you can see what's inside. And it came in green, blue, yellow, purple, and orange.
-
So they came in five different colors.
-
All right. The next thing I found was a 3-pack of highlighters. So I mentioned this yesterday.
-
Dollar Tree, they had a 4-pack for a dollar. And I feel like you can get any brand highlighters
-
and they work just as well as a named brand ones. So I feel like, "OK. Well, if we only
-
have 20 bucks to spend, I feel like I can just get the cheap highlighters."
-
I found a 4-pack of post-it notes for a dollar in four fun colors and they're the actual
-
Post-it brands.
-
So yesterday at Dollar Tree, I showed you a 4-pack. I think there was 400 sheets total
-
for a dollar. Here, you only get 200 sheets total but you get the real - I don't want
-
to say the real brand but you get the nice brand of post-it notes. And sometimes when
-
you get the real brand, they work a little nicer. So in this case, like this might stick
-
a little nicer than the Dollar Tree version.
-
All right. The next thing I found was a 10-pack of mechanical pencil for a $1.46. So I thought
-
this was a really great price. I love mechanical pencils. When I was in school, we were lucky
-
if we were able to afford buying a mechanical pencil because they were always like the more
-
expensive ones. But I thought that's not too bad. It's like $0.14 a pencil. I don't know.
-
I feel like yeah, that wasn't too bad of a price. There were other mechanical pencils
-
that were more expensive. But I feel like any mechanical pencil is a good pencil.
-
OK. And so the last thing I got was a 4-pack of Uni-ball pens. So I kind of splurge on
-
this but I feel like - like personally speaking, I rather write with a nicer pen and like cut
-
corners in other areas like the highlighter, the pencil case, or the notebook which is
-
still a nice notebook. But I rather have a nicer pen and have other not as nice supplies.
-
So I spent a little bit more and I spent $4.24 on a 4-pack of Uni-ball pens because Uni-ball
-
pens are my favorite pens. So this pack comes with two blacks, a blue, and a red. So you
-
get all your colors right there for like a little over $1.05 per pen. And this is actually
-
on sale. It was regularly I think $6.29 or something so it was on sale and I was still
-
able to afford it with my $20 budget.
-
OK. So that's everything I found at Wal-Mart. Total price of everything was $20.60 for everything
-
you see here. So I was $0.60 over my budget. Now, if I went to Wal-Mart and I only had
-
a $20 bill and I had to pull something out, I would probably pull the pencils out or I'd
-
pull the highlighters or the pencil case. I feel like you could always find a pencil
-
around the house or you could find a highlighter around the house or you could always reuse
-
last year's pencil case. So then that would leave me under 20 bucks. But everything else,
-
I like - I want to be fresh like the pens, the dividers, the notebook, the binder and
-
stuff, and post-its and stuff.
-
And actually, I forgot to mention that these are erasable highlighters. I thought that
-
was so cool. I really want to open them and try them out but I'm planning to donate all
-
the things you see here and all the things in tomorrow's haul and yesterday's haul. And
-
I wanted to give somebody else the joy of opening up these school supplies for the first
-
time because that's always so fun. So I do not get to try this out.
-
But I hope this video was helpful. And if you missed yesterday's Dollar Tree haul, I
-
basically did the same thing you see here but 20 bucks at Dollar Tree. And then tomorrow's
-
haul is 20 bucks at Target of finding the best school supplies. So you can come back
-
tomorrow if you want to see everything I got at Target.
-
All right. I hope this video was helpful. And I will see you soon. Bye!
