In shopping for back to school items, I found that glue sticks are generally quite the rip-off in most of the office supply stores.  Then I discovered that the place to buy them is Costco!  A pack of 28 Elmers Glue Sticks is only $5.99.  That's a whole lot better than the packs of two that you'll get for about $3.00+ in most regular stores.

I picked up a few packs and plan to donate one to the school as they always seem to be in need. 

These are great to have on hand for kids crafts as well as scrapbooking projects.
