Okay, so the Preschool's don't give their lists out until the last minute, which means that there are NO school supplies left to be bought. That being said, I did manage to find everything on the list at a relatively reasonable price except for WATERCOLORS...all in the same place too (only took 5 trips to 5 stores!). Anyway, I'm done being mad about this...I think...and am considering stocking up for years to come! Does anyone know of a place to find crayola watercolors? I live in Federal Way and have tried, Target, Fred Meyer (Twin Lakes), Wal-Mart (by Top Foods), Office Max, and Walgreens (Twin Lakes). I'm tired of running around. I know that everyone just sold everything they had before school started, but I need this by Friday. Any Ideas? I'm tired of running everywhere (am I repeating myself?).
I found some at the QFC in Twin Lakes!!! I bought 2 just in case other parents couldn't find any anywhere.
We found some at Albertson's just last week in Auburn. Hope that helps
I would try either of the craft stores here in Federal Way JoAnn's ETC in the strip mall on Pac HWY by 317th or so or Michael's in the strip mall across Pac HWY from the Sear's end of the mall with Bank of America in the parking lot off of 320th. One other place is Aaron Brother's which is across 320th from the mall, turn by Taco Time and then make the first left and it is in the strip mall that runs perpendicular to Linen's and Things. I know it is 3 more places to go but maybe you could call ahead and see if they have one in stock and all of them have coupons in the Sunday Paper for 40% or so off any item. I still have mine if you want to use one. Let me know, I am a SAHM. Good luck, K.
Hi L.,
Have you checked either The $1 Store, or Dollar Tree? The last time I was at either place(at least a year ago), I believe I saw some there.
Sorry I can't be more help, but I wanted to give you one more place to try just in case. Like the other mom said, maybe you could call ahead.
Good luck!

have you tried Office Depot? If you can't find any please call me, I think I have some extra. I do spend August going to all the sales and picking up all their advertised specials so keep a stash for times like these.
Oh, dh has football friday nites this fall so I am more free if you want to get together.
I would just let the school know that it would be much more helpful if they could give the supply list out sooner and let them know that you had a hard time finding everything due to everyone being sold out of stuff. I know you are not the only one who has this problem.
