Description

Target Specials – Shoppers will find a helpful section at Target this year that features all the basic school supplies for just $1. The section will feature solid-colored folders, spiral notebooks and composition books so students can easily match all their supplies for each subject, and hopefully stay organized, too. And at such an affordable price point, Mead makes getting the basics simple. Available colors will be red, blue, green and yellow. Under $2 – Luckily for parents and students, many of Mead’s hottest fashion items are under $2 this back to school season. From woven folders that give texture to supplies and artsy lines that feature bright nature scenes or ‘photo-real’ images to items that feature major icons like the Paul Frank monkey or Barbie.

Mead Money Madness – Mead’s loyalty points program offers rewards for eligible purchases. Look for the Money Madness tag on the company’s products, enter the UPC at www.mead.com and start earning points. Points are redeemable for real-world prizes kids love, including retailer gift cards, school supplies, music and more.

Music Insider – Free music and a chance at $25,000 cash. That’s what the Five Star brand is offering teens as part of The Five Star Music Insider promotion. This back-to-school season, qualifying Five Star notebook purchases will earn students free music downloads from 10 up-and-coming artists. And, by simply weighing in on their favorites, teens could win themselves and one of the artists/bands $25,000 each.

Review

Who doesn’t know the Mead name when it comes to school supplies. And they are local in Dayton Ohio. When it comes to school supplies I remember the name Mead. I had Mead supplies when I was a kid and if you ask my kids they would say that is a long, long time ago. And because you can find these items at Target, it’s easy to run in and pick up what you need.
