There are always items found in the back to school section that can be used for other purposes. I've found plastic boxes to hold different items, all kinds of other containers, mechanical pencils especially, pens, and the list goes on. I've even found items in the clearance aisle in drug stores that can be used for quilting.

Whatever I need at the time. DH and I also go back and grab about $30-50 worth of supplies for "SUPPLY OUR STUDENTS". If you know a teacher(s), you may want to grab some supplies and donate to the teachers since they end of having to purchase extra because so many of the students have no supplies that first day to start with. We've given the teachers gift cards so they can purchase what they need. If I give a gift card, it's usually generic that they can use anywhere.

No and they haven't for a long time here in Iowa. At our local Walmart you can find a list of school supplies for each grade requested by the school your children attend and off you go shopping. Construction paper is provided but not paper; colors; glue; and each child usually brings a box of tissues to be used for the class room. Many teachers request certain color notebooks and corresponding folders. DIL is getting smart and saving folders from past years as child #4 starts preschool.
