Staples: Week of 8/22

I’ve been pretty happy with the back to school deals this year.  Staples is wooing me once again though.  This week, in addition to some of the great cheapie deals, they have FREE highlighters.  For those of us who color code nearly everything in our lives (okay, in our work lives, at least) highlighters are indispensable. 

Here’s the deal:

Bic Brite Liner Highlighters --- $.50 (limit 2, so do the limit)

Use the $1/2 from the 8/1 SS (yes, Staples takes coupons)

Final Cost:  FREE

I’m also loving the funky black and white composition books --- only $.10 each.

Staples: Week of 7/25

I think I’m moving into Staples this week.  Do you think they’ll set up a cot for me or will I need to sleep on the floor??  Start fishing through your recycling bin – you’ll need the Staples flyer.  There are some coupons in it --- and they don’t/won’t give you copies at the store. 

Four Day Sale (Sunday through Wednesday)

You have to make a $5.00 purchase to do these prices, but I’m thinking that will NOT be a problem for me.

Staples: Week of 7/11

It is definitely time for the back to school cheapies and freebies.  Staples (as usual) has joined the fray.  Remember, they are picky about their limits --- but if you’re a teacher and you bring a pay stub or a school identification (something that proves you really are a teacher) they quickly grant you an exception.  Depending on your local Staples, the limit may become 25 or there may be no limit --- a few (very few) Staples will only double the stated limit for you.  Whatever they offer to do, smile and be sure to say thank you.

Need Batteries?? Head to Staples

This is a deal that is too good to miss.  Everyone needs batteries --- think about your smoke detector, your cameras, your flashlights (yeah, the one you haven’t checked in months)  You know you need batteries!!

So – head on out to Staples because until 12/26 Staples is running a promotion on Duracell batteries: 

Buy one 20ct pack for $12.99 and get the whole $12.99 back as a Staples Reward.  The limit on this deal is 2 per week!  That means you can get up to 40 free batteries every week.  C’mon, I know you need batteries, but more than 40 per week for the next few weeks --- no one needs that many batteries!
