  • 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!

Hi everyone, it's Alejandra. And welcome to the part 2 of my back to school supply haul.
