Making it easier on parents, Staples breaks down school supplies into three categories—grade school, high school and college. Most students, however, can always use a binder—or four. The office-supply store is offering, among other deals, a “buy 3, get 1 free” special on select Avery binders, which are regularly $4.99 each.
