Money Saving Tip for Office Supplies

036When you’re working from home full time - either freelancing, contracting, or running a  business -  stocking office supplies can be a big overhead. Printers, paper, pens, clips, staples, Post-It™ notes, notepads, and other sundry items - they can all add up to big bucks.

But not when you can take advantage of the back-to-school sales. I love to head to places like Target and dig through the bins of 10 pens for fifty cents and spiral bound paper notebooks for a dollar each. When I can pack a coffee mug with pens (see left photo), suddenly I feel more like I really have an office, not just working from a spare room in the house. Plus, I just have a thing for pens.

    I have a thing for pens. I also have a knack for losing pens. Losing lots of pens. If I buy 20 pens, I lose 18 of them and then keep the other two until they’re dented and useless.
