If you have purchased any Post It Notes or 3M labels for Back to School you might dig up those receipts. They are offering a $10 rebate when you spend $20 total through 12/31.
The rebate says you need the UPC off the product plus the receipt or invoice. It does not say if all items need to be purchased at one time. If possible, it might be easier to have all $20 on one receipt.
I have to say that if you have not checked out all the really cool labels 3M has out these days, it is time to have a look around! There are so many cool things that are incredibly useful in the household not just as school supplies.
You can see various 3M Labels here to get some ideas.
The $20 should be calculated before coupons.

Amazon is offering 100 different school supply products for $5 or less right now. Many of the items have free standard shipping which makes for a pretty good deal.
There are some products priced higher than you find in stores (like Elmer’s Glue Sticks 3pks are $1.50 but Target has 2pks for $.40 this week)- but if you are short on time this might be a really good option to check out.
One thing I wanted to mention as well is that many stores might be pretty wiped out by now. I was shocked and bummed at how little there was to choose from at Target last night.
This is the week that we should start seeing clearance sales at Target on supplies but honestly my store had almost nothing left to choose from.
You can see Back to School deals from Office Max, or from the Staples Ad or the Office Depot Ad here.

There is a Staples coupon available for 20% off one item from 8/16-8/20. There are a few exclusions like Kindles, computers, Amazon gift cards and more so be sure to read the fine print.
You can still get an even better deal on some of the items they have on sale this week and you might be able to use this on the reams of paper that are priced at $4.99- pay $4.00 and there is a rebate back this week for $4.49.
So you actually make $.49 profit to buy paper!
Now every store has slightly different rules so you can always call ahead and ask but the majority of stores will allow you to use coupons on rebate items.

Well here is yet another installment of the Back to School comparison list for 8/14-8/20. I was nearly trampled to death at Target in the Back to School section this week so I know a lot of you are out shopping!
The deals are really slowing down now and I checked back to last year and it was August 26th that we started to see clearance sales. For the clearance sales you can expect it to be like after Christmas clearance sales- most items will go very fast and we won’t see a huge selection that hits 75% off.
So here is your list of store deals this week. It is always best to double check your local ad before you head out as some sales can be regional!
