Target also has star-tipped wooden pointers, crafty stuff (pipe cleaners, pom poms, wiggle eyes), pencil sets, weather charts, and teacher's planning books- they won't be there long!
Here's what I found at Michaels:
Some of these bins are like the ones I use in my students' cubbies. At $4 each, using coupons would be a good way to go. WalMart does sell plain white baskets that are a bit more affordable, but they can be tough to clean when students write or color on them.
I'd still suggest that you register online with Michaels so they can email you coupons (print off multiple copies of them and have your family join you for big or multiple purchases) or track down coupons in your Sunday paper. Most craft stores honor competitor's coupons as well, so register online for Joann's and Hobby Lobby, then print, clip, and save!

Hi Michaele, glad you stopped by my blog and happy to find yours. I used to want to be a kindergarten teacher, once upon a time! How I ended up a social worker.. I dont know! my daughter is a teacher. She teachers highschool music. Loves it. Anyways.. I will enter your name in the give away! I guess I better figure out what to make for it!

After seeing your post, I just HAD to stop by Michaels and get that eraser "for BIG mistakes"! I love it! Thanks for the heads up! I also picked up a "Cat in the Hat" pointer with a light on the tip of the pointer finger. =D
