Don’t forget a lot of stores will price match which saves running to multiple stores. I asked Office Max if they would even price match Staples ad and they said yes, so I was able to pick up 5 pack highlighters for $1. Next time I will print the ad ahead of time to speed the process up. But it pays to carry all your sale ads with you in cases like this when all the stores have one or two items at rock bottom prices.
