Cheap Resources: The Old Way and The New Way

Did you know that stores such as Target and Walmart aren't always the only places to find most of your school supplies? When it comes to pencils, pens, binders and paper there's only one place that I trust my hard earned money and that is The Dollar Store. Now, like many people I hate having to dip into my savings account just to buy the essentials for school. I used to only shop at Target and Walmart for my school supplies, like paper and binders.

But then one day, I found myself in a local Dollar store looking for a cheaper red binder for a loose-leaf text book. As I walked through the aisle for school supplies I was overjoyed and surprised to see that they not only had the binder I was looking for (a half inch red binder)-- but they also had packs of pens, pencils and notebooks. I love taking notes on the yellow legal pads for in-class notes and was happy to see that they had those too! Not all their stuff was a full dollar either, some of the pencil packs were only 50 cents! They also had poster boards and big cut out letters for posters too!

More Options: Shop with me!

Here's a short video of me going online to the Dollar Tree's website to show you some of the deals that they have going on. I love going there first, before I go to other stores. Because honestly who wants to pay $6 for a binder when you can just pay $1. One of my favorites is also the project binders that you can put all your essays and project reports in to make them look just a little bit more professional!

About Audra J.

FrogTutoring Tutor Based in Fresno, CA

I am currently enrolled at California State University, Fresno working towards a Multiple Subject teaching credential. I graduated with an English major, and a Creative Writing Minor in December 2014. Growing up in my mothers Third grade classroom, I've grown up teaching peers and students even though at the time I didn't view it as a tutoring job. When deciding what I wanted to do as a career, I realized that I actually had a lot of experience working with kids and peers helping them in classes. I realized that tutoring and teaching was actually what I loved doing above all else. So I am excited to see where working for Frog Tutoring takes me, and expanding my impact on other students and help them love school as much as I do! As a student, especially in Middle School and High School, I received a lot of tutoring myself. I struggled with math and sciences just like many people do, and through those tutoring sessions I realized the best way that I like to learn, and who made the best tutors. I believe that to be a good tutor, you must understand who you are tutoring and how they learn. I believe that through hands-on activities, repetition, and positivity, students will see a difference in their willingness and ability to work.
