box of dry erase markers - low order fine tip
One of the items DD needs to bring on her supply list is a BOX of low odor fine tip dry erase markers. Has anyone found these? I see plenty of packages of say 3 or 4 packs but her list says that she wants a box not a package. I figure they go through them quickly. I could only find a colored box at lakeshore. I have been to staples, office max, target, walmart.
Has anyone seen them? I ended up at several stores because she had a very specific list and the places would have one or two items but would be out of the others.
Etd to add - they also want a size medium mens button down shirt with the sleeves cut short. Where is the cheapest place to find that?

My son had that same request last year for the those markers and I couldn't find them so I just bought the regular ones. I wasn't about to drive myself crazy over it.
As far as shirt I would try Walmart or if there is a thrift store by you, there.

I seriously wouldn't drive yourself crazy over it. It bugs me when they are so particular, and put nearly impossible to find things on the list. I mean, the school should be providing the supplies with all the taxes we pay! So I don't go out of my way to get the really hard to find stuff.
I would get the shirt at Walmart. Although they should just say to get a smock. Waiting for 25 kids to button up their men's shirts that are way too big for them sounds like a huge production to me!

I can't complain too much as my daughter's list is actually very short compared to what I see others posting. So I felt that since I had so few things to buy I wanted to make sure I got what they needed - I basically had to get like a box of 12 pencils, 1 24 pack crayons, dry eraser, 6 pencils, some notebooks, folders, the markers and 3 large glue sticks.
I think they said at orientation that is what they prefer - no plastic smocks - but the kids put them on backwards? So no buttoning.
That was what I afraid of. They have a color box (didn't specify color or black markers just that they had to be low odor and fine tip) - but they wanted $27 for it - which was more than I pretty much spent for the supplies as a whole so far.

Here is a box on ebay. Actually there are quite a few if you just search low odor markers 12 (12 is how many come in the box)
link
Or, if you are in a Michael's store, see if they have them? I know they do sell dry erase boards, so they might sell the markers. And mycraftcoupons.com has 40-50 percent off coupons a lot!

Thank you - that was the next place with AC moore that I was going to check - but I figured I would ask here rather than running around with no luck.
