Staples Preview - Free Backpack

I got an email with a preview for tomorrow's Staples ad.  You will be able to get any backpack for FREE with easy rebate.  You can check out their preview here.

The school deals of the week that are good through Wednesday, July 28 are:

Staples Multipurpose Paper for 1¢ after easy rebate - limit 2
8 pk. BIC Round-Stic ballpoint pens 1¢ - limit 2
5 pk. Zebra Sarasa retractable gel pens 25¢ after easy rebate - limit 1
6 pk. Staples Hype highlighters 25¢ - limit 2
Really useful box - 25¢ - limit 2

For those of you who don't want to do the easy rebates.  They really are easy, you go here then you can choose where you bought.  Enter the information right off your receipt, then done and a check comes in the mail to you.  I found it to be alot easier than Office Depot which you have to copy your receipt, plus mail to different addresses for different rebates.

School supply deals are here!

I went to Staples, Office Depot, and Target, because they have started their deals this week.  I always get the maximum allowed so then I can donate whatever we don't need.

At Staples you have to spend $5 to get the 1¢ deals, so I bought a hole puncher since we needed one for $5, but I had a $5 off $30 coupon so it really didn't matter at that point. The rest of the items I got were:

These items were $1/each limit 2 per household

Pack of 25 envelopes 

Pack of 4 BIC Atlantis Pens

Pack of 6 Hype Highlighters

Pack of 2 Westcott Scissors

Pack of 4 Staples Glue

Pack of 15 Rose Art colored pencils

Scotch Tape
Pack of 50 Photo paper (rebate must be submitted)

These items were 1¢

Pronged/Pocket Folders - limit 10

Pack of 8 Staples Pencils - limit 2

Pack of Staples multipurpose paper - limit 2 (rebate must be submitted)

Since my husband is a teacher, you are able to get more items up to 25.  So this weeks (extra) items are the pencils and folders.  My total for all the items pictured was $16.52 after rebates.

The cool thing at Target is there is no limit to what you purchase.  At Target I got the following:

Pack of 2 Rose Art Glue - 20¢

Pack of 12 Rose Art Colored Pencils - 50¢

Pack of 10 Rose Art Markers - 50¢

Pack of 4 Dry Erase Markers - $2

Dry Erase Board & Marker - $2

Pack of 12 Pentac Pens - $1

Erasers - $1

Water Bottles - $3.79

Finally, I headed to Office Depot.  I was a little upset because they only had two items I wanted to get.  They said a truck with more items would come Thursday.  I may or may not go back.  But I was able to get:

1 pack of Multi-purpose paper for $1

Pack of 12 Mr. Sketch scented markers for free (after rebate)

So I spent $1 after rebates for the two items above

The other deals going on, that I may go back for include:

Swingline® LifeTouch Reduced Effort Stapler - FREE after rebate

Office Depot® Brand Color-Coded Heavyweight Sheet Protectors 25 - $1 after rebate

Pentel® Quicker Clicker™ Mechanical Pencils 2-PK - $1 after rebate

Ace Hardware Star Spangled Savings Weekend
