Back-to-School Comparison Shopping: Composition Notebooks

It’s that time of year again, where schools send out lists of supplies your children will need for the coming year. With so many places to buy those supplies, how do you know where you’ll get the best deal? Well, this list of composition notebook prices might be an indicator–or, at the very least, if you need to buy dozens of these notebooks, you’ll know where to get them for the lowest price.
