Back to School Deals: Staples 7/24-7/30

Well there is great news and not so great news this week. The great news is that there are some fantastic deals at Staples coming next week. The not so great news is that I checked a few zip codes and it looks like there is huge variation in the ads.  The ad above is from IL and it looks nothing at all like my ad in CA.

So you will for sure want to double check your local ad- you can see your Staples Ad for next week by clicking Weekly Ad and then look for the Upcoming Ad in grey on the left side.

I am going to go ahead and list the deals for my store in California but be sure you check your ad because it may be completely different than mine!

    How weird! I’m in Northern Cali. and that’s not my ad for next week. PA might have the exact same ad next week that we had *this* week in my area.

    You don’t see the .01 highlighters and pencils on the cover of your ad Jen?

    Looks like my ad in FL matches your CA ad for the really cheap stuff. Sure hope at least one of the stores does 100% back in rewards for a backpack purchase soon! I’m holding out. Last year 2 stores did that and you could get 2 at each! My son needs a new one!

    Charlene – I see why I was confused. The picture was from the IL ad. =)

    I also have about $20 in Staples Rewards. Will they let me use Rewards and coupons on the same purchase?

    MI is different, but we have some good deals this coming week. 50 cents for copy paper after rebate and free highlighters after rebate are some of hte highlights

    My ad also had a coupon for BOGO free case of paper after the easy rebate; do you think this can be combined with the $26 in Staples rewards? My ad also has the $26 reward offer for a box of paper.
    Also, is the rewards just in store credit while the rebate is something you mail in and get a check for later?
    Here is the link for the coupon in case anyone didn’t get it!

    Brie- I mentioned in the post which were actual rebates and which were store credit next to the items.

    Funny – we had that ad last week in Lexington, Kentucky – I’ve already gotten my classroom sets of 25 highlighters, pencils, and note cards as I am a teacher. I hope your readers know that if they are in education and take in their check stub they can sign up for STAR teacher rewards and get classroom sets of their specials. The week before last they had glue for a penny too! Staples is really the best at giving teachers a break.

    Can you combine the rebates with store credit at Staples?

  11. Charlene says

    07/21/2011 at 8:48 PM

    Brie I don’t know. I would just call and ask them.

  12. Brie says

    Okay, Thank you!

    I’ve just started following Staples/office supplies. Can someone tell me how often printer paper goes on these kind of sales? Just at school time? Or periodically throughout the year?
    Thanks.
