The imperative

Hi everyone, itís Alejandra. And Iím so excited to be doing this video. I just got

Gerund

back from doing a back to school supply haul at Dollar Tree, Wal-Mart, and Target. So my

The superlative

goal was to go to all three stores and try and find the best school supplies for under

$20. So I went to all three stores and I just spent like two hours at each store trying

to rummage through all the bins and find the best stuff.

So in this video, Iím going to show you the best things that I found for under 20 bucks

at Dollar Tree. And then tomorrow, Iím going to show you the same thing except Iím going

to show you all things I bought from Wal-Mart for 20 bucks. And then the very next day,

Iím going to show you the same thing I bought at ñ not the same thing but the best school

supplies I bought at Target for less than 20 bucks.

So itís going to be a 3-part back to school supply haul video series here on YouTube.

And then at the very end of the three days, I am going to donate all the school supplies

I found to somebody who is going back to school that needs the supplies. So yeah, thatís

how this video series is going to work. So let me show you exactly what I found at Dollar

OK. So the first item I found at Dollar Tree were these wall decal flower stickers. And

I thought they were so fun just like the color is fun, the pattern is fun, theyíre removable,

and I just thought theyíd be perfect for a locker door or on top of your binder or

notebook or something. So you get some on the front and you get some on the back also.

So I thought that was a great price for a dollar.

So everything Iím going to show you has a little price tag that I created myself. I

wanted to do it because ñ I mean in this haul, everything is a dollar so everything

is going to say a dollar but in tomorrowís haul and the next day of the haul, not everything

is a dollar so it will be ñ like it will make more sense why I did that tomorrow and

the next day. But anyways, this was a dollar and I thought that was a great price.

OK. The second thing I found was lined paper. Now, I learned that the Dollar Store is not

the best place or not the cheapest place to get paper, which Iíll show you in tomorrowís

haul where I found it cheaper. But Dollar Store does have 150 sheets for a dollar.

OK. So the next thing I found was this clear binder pouch from the Dollar Store. Now, itís

kind of similar to the gusseted binder pocket that Iíve shown in my warranties and manual

binder except it has a zipper on the edge, not a Velcro snap. So itís a little bit different

but they had a good selection there and they had them in different colors and itís a little

bit gusseted so you could kind of see here. So you could fit like a stack of papers or

you could put your composition notebook or flat school supplies like stickers or I donít

know, anything flat. But anyways, I found it in clear and then I also found it in pink.

They had red, they had green, they had blue, they had purple, lots of different colors.

OK. So next thing I found were these fun folders. They come two to a pack. Dollar Tree had so

many just like cool patterns that are nice and colorful so this is a checker colored

one then the second one that comes in this pack is like a green blue chevron pattern.

So these were so fun like two for a dollar is a great price.

OK. So next thing I found was this 1 Subject aqua colored notebook. So they had a few other

colors. I forget what colors they had but this was the prettiest one. Now, I loved this

notebook. Iím really picky when it comes to notebooks. I like when the paper is perforated

on the edge and this is, I donít know if you can see that but it has perforation here

So this is going to sound really weird but I love notebooks with dark lines because when

you write on it, I feel like it looks neater and more organized. And so, these lines are

nice and dark. And a lot of notebooks donít have dark lines so itís actually kind of

hard to find. So Dollar Tree had nice dark lines.

OK. The next thing I found was fun chevron composition notebook like how fun is this

pattern and these colors? Like if this was my Math composition notebook, I feel like

I would be more excited to go to Math class just to use my fun notebook. So this was a

OK. So the next thing I found were these fun neon colored index cards for a dollar. I thought

this was such a great find. I love using colorful index cards because I feel like for studying,

if I color-code my index cards, I have an easier time memorizing information because

Iíll remember ñ Iíll associate what Iím supposed to say with what color index card

itís on. It sounds kind of weird but itís so helpful for me. So when I saw this I was

OK. So the next thing I found was this mini purple stapler that comes with 500 staples.

I feel like itís always great to have a mini stapler like in your pencil case or in your

backpack or your locker in case teachers donít staple papers.

OK. So the next thing I found was an 8-pack of blue ball point pens. These were the nicest

pens that I saw. I have not tried them out yet. I donít want to open them because Iím

planning to donate the supplies but yeah, these were the nicest ones I saw.

And then the next thing, itís another pack of pens. Itís made by Pentel so theyíre

going to be like named brand. Pentel makes good pencils and pens and stuff. But I thought

these were pencils when I picked them up and then when I got home I realized they were

OK. So the next thing I found was a 4-pack of highlighters. Now, Iím not really picky

with my highlighters. I feel like if you donít get like the named brand highlighters, itís

not really a big deal. I feel like a highlighter is a highlighter so I feel like this was a

good deal. Four for a dollar and you get a yellow, an orange, a pink, and a purple. I

personally like the yellow highlighter the best because I feel like these colors are

so dark. But I donít know, it depends what it looks like when itís opened.

OK. So the next thing I found was a black marker. I feel like everybody needs at least

one good black marker. And Dollar Tree sells the Sharpie kind which is the best kind in

OK. So the next thing I found was this notepad of really pretty color paper and I feel like

this is different from like the neon colored note cards because I feel like this is more

for studying and this is more for like writing notes to your friends or I donít know, just

like jotting things down, maybe you keep this in the small compartment in your backpack

for note-taking. I donít really know what I would use this for. But I feel like this

was a really good deal. You get so many different fun colors. You get 100 sheets and it was

OK. So the next thing I found was this mesh silver magnetic locker organizer. So all you

do is you stick this on your locker door. Itís magnetic on the back and you put pens,

All right. So the next thing I found was a 4-pack of 1 Ωî x 2î sticky notes. So you

get 400 sheets total for a dollar and you get fun colors. OK.

So Dollar Tree had a lot of pencil cases. I tried a lot of them like I tried the zippers,

I tried the boxes, and the only one I really liked was this one. It has a good zipper like

it actually has a really nice zipper. Itís a fun color. The only problem is on the other

side is a pattern. Itís a Disney pattern so if youíre not a Disney fan then youíre

probably might not go for this. But I feel like you could just easily cover this with

stickers, wall decals, duct tape, washer tape or something or pinning it. I donít know.

Somehow get creative and cover this if youíre not a Disney person. Like I feel like I would

But like I said, if you get creative, you can figure out a way to cover it. But I just

feel like it has a really nice zipper and I feel like itís a good size. You could put
