I would guess Oriental trading, but Target and staples run good back to school sales on a lot of basics

The back to school sales are running now and different stores will have specials on different things. Check the websites and look for coupons. There was one year that I sent dh into shop rite because they had coupons for a few things that were cheaper elsewhere.

Dollar Tree is now $1.25. Walmart still has most things at 98 cents. Shop sales and then Walmart for the rest IMHO.

Depending what you need, different places have better prices on some things, worse on some others. Also, sometimes cheap is expensive and you end up needing to replace lower quality items quicker. Foe crayons, stick with the good brands. Glue, pompoms, feathers and other craft supplies that use up quickly, buy cheap.
Discount School Supply has some things really cheap, but some other things there are way overpriced. They have some things on sale now- felt, construction paper some paint colors... Here's a link. https://refer.discountschoolsu.....indee
Amazon and Walmart have a lot of options and many times some items are a lot cheaper than anywhere else. Walmart, especially-they usually have lots of school supplies type things on sale this time of year- crayons, markers, glue, etc.

Are you a morah for a while? Or you're starting out this year?
Before buying in bulk, you should try to figure out exactly what you'll actually be using!!
I only stock up on basics like crayons,glue, colored cardboard, oaktag... Walmart have the best prices in August!
I buy a couple of packs of other stuff like guggley eyes, feathers, sticks...
Some stuff you can find on clearance during the year in Michael's like pipe cleaners, pompoms...
