Wow, I am really wishing there was a Staples in the town I live because Staples is really having some great deals lately. I am assuming as back to school shopping season kicks on in July the deals will get even better. Anyway, this week there are quite a few things you can get for very very cheap.

Deal Idea
$49.98 Buy two half cases of HP paper

Use $15 off $50 Office Depot Coupon (Staples takes competitors coupons)
Pay $35.98 plus tax out of pocket and get $24.99 Visa prepaid Debit Card for HP paper Easy Rebate PLUS $4.99 in Staples Rewards. That’s like paying $6 for ten reams of paper after coupons, rebate and Staples rewards!
Happy Savings!

Nestle Asst Minis 40oz. (originally $11.99) PAID $2.50
HP Office Paper case (originally $24.99) PAID $19.99 per (sign was mismarked and Staples honored this price)
Had Office Depot coupon for $15 off $50
Submitted rebate request last night for $24.99 Visa Card
I bought a bunch of other little 50 cent things–Blue’s Clues wipe-off placemats, binder clips, pre-cut poster letters and shapes, Curious George stickers, dinosaur window clings and smiley-face window clings.
I shared the paper with my neighbor who is a kindergarten teacher and a great friend. I also gave her the placemats, stickers and clings.
After the rebate, I probably spent $75 for a carload of useful stuff (a total of 45 items) that would probably have cost about $300!

I tried this scenario today and it worked great with the $25 off coupon I purchased from Ebay. The totals were a bit higher (because of stinkin 9.25% sales tax in TN), but still an awesome deal on a truckload of paper that we will definitely use!
