A much better way to obtain school supplies is to go to Wal-Mart. They have much better prices on exactly the same supplies. A composition notebook that costs $6.50 costs 25 cents before tax at Wal-Mart. These price inflations range over a great variety of products, including, but not limited to: pens, notebooks, pencil graphite, and erasers. Wal-Mart is also great because they have many other cheap things that the bookstore just doesn't have. The bookstore also seems to trust issues with students and a poor return policy. Moral of the story: shop at Wal-Mart.
