Help!!! I Need Something and Can't Find It!!! Reward offered!

I am in back-to-school mode (well, a little bit into it). Anyway, last week, I saw a Linky or a regular post about great school supply finds for teachers. Someone (has to be one of you) posted about plastic folders that have clear pockets inside (maybe 6-10 pockets). Also, the same person talked about clear, adhesive label holders bought at Michaels. Well, of course I didn't write any of that down, but I keep thinking about them. I've scoured all the blogs I follow, but I can't find this post. I've done internet searches of school supplies and ........nothing! 

Today, at Office Max, I thought I struck gold when I saw the folders. And, the best part was the worker told me they were $1!!! He had to go in the back to get me more. They only had 15, but he told me to come back later in the week since they'd be getting more. When I went to check out, imaging my frustration when they rang up at $2 something!!! I told the cashier how the guy told me they were $1. She rolled her eyes and called him on her little phone. She told me again that they were $2-something...not $1 (insert little red mad face here). So, I didn't get them. I am on the hunt for these bad boys. I need them...they'll be so great to store/organize my students' assessments. So, please, if you've spotted folders that look like what I've described, and there are $1-something, or if you know about the label holders, please let me know.  I hope I can get these items online since I can't stand wasting time in stores, only to get eyes rolled at me...
Thanks so much!
*As an added bonus, the first person who lets me know about either of these will get their choice of a product in my TPT store.

  1. Not sure if they are exactly the folders you are talking about, but I've seen something similar at Big Lots.

    1. Amanda,
      Thanks for the tip. Since you were the first person to comment, you can have anything from my TPT store for free. I don't have a ton, but hopefully you can find something you need.

  2. Hi Jen, I don't know of the post you are referring to but did you check the dollar store for the folders? I bought folders similar to the ones you describe above there last summer. I hope you find what you are looking for soon.
