ABSTRACT
Local discount stores are favorite shopping places of teachers. For $5 or less, you can find a multitude of inexpensive items perfect for bulletin boards and crafts. Tap your creative side to make the most of items available. Could that $1 shower curtain be trimmed to cover a bookcase or work as the drape for a puppet theater? Yard sales also yield great bargains and creative options—from used books to alternative storage containers and materials for myriad projects. The possibilities are endless!
