Summer may have officially started about two weeks ago, but it's not too early to start shopping for school supplies.

Staples, for example, marked the official start to the 2012 back-to-school shopping season Tuesday by announcing guaranteed savings on an assortment of supplies, technology and new products through several deals.

A release by Staples says that this week shoppers will find deals such as selected glue, crayons and BIC pens for just a penny and a five pack of Sharpies for $1.
