I’m helping out our school’s summer supply drive, so I’ve compiled this list of the best deals this week:
STAPLES

Suggested Scenario
This scenario worked great for me today, and after rebate, I’ll have paid less than $1 for everything:
1 Staples multipurpose paper ream $5.99
2 Staples Arrowhead Cap Erasers, pink, 12-pack $0.01 each
2 Bic Round Stic Ball Point Pens, black, 8-pack $0.01 each
2 Staples School Glue, 4-oz $0.01 eachPay: $6.05 + tax
Receive: $5.74 Easy Rebate (the rebate information will print at the register when you make your purchase; I’ll write up an explanation of the Easy Rebates program soon – be sure to get the rebate receipt from the cashier)
Final total: $0.31 + taxYou can do this scenario twice since the rebate limit is two – you’ll end up paying $12.10 + tax out of pocket, and get back $11.48 via rebate.
