When I first got my Staples Rewards card several years ago, I told them I homeschooled, and they gave me one that said "Teacher" on it. I don't know if they still do that for all hs'ers, or just did it then.
But since I had the Teacher's Rewards card, I got some WAY good deals. An employee checked and said my card was good for the Teacher's deals.
First, (with additional total purchase of $5.00) instead of being limited to two 8-packs of pencils for 1 cent each, I was able to get 25 packs!
Two hundred pencils for .25¢! Wow!
Then, instead of limit 10, I got 25 pronged folders for 1 cent each. I'll be using some of these for copies of stuff for the kids who come to do experiments. And it will be nice to have a cupholder of sharpened pencils as well. =)
The next deal is for anyone. I got two reams of paper for $4.99; after rebate will be 1 cent each.
I got two 6-packs of highlighters for $1.00 each pack.
I got a few other good deals, too, but these were the best. =)
Woo-hoo!
And an employee said I could take my stuff to the car, and come back to get more!
I didn't, though. I think I have enough pencils! =)
The 1-cent deals and other cheapies that are on the first page of their sale paper are typically good Sunday - Wednesday.

Wow! I have a Staples card, but I never know of their deals. How do you find out?
ReplyDeleteThere is something seriously wrong with you! You can NEVER have too many pencils. lol
ReplyDeleteWOW..THAT IS AN AWESOME DEAL!
ReplyDeleteapplie, I get an email of their sale paper a few days before the sale starts.
ReplyDeleteAnd ha, I know one day when I run out, I'll say, "Where did all the pencils go???"
EJ, yeah, it was awesome! =D
I just signed up for their emails and got registered for everything. lol I have had a teacher card with them for a while now. I have had Office Depot card for years.
ReplyDeleteawesome! Do you buy ink there?
ReplyDeleteI return my ink cartridges for $2.00 credit.
...used to be $3.00 >:(
I return my ink cartridges to Office Depot for $3.00 each. Up to 20 per month. :) I do shop mostly at Office Depot.
ReplyDeleteOh, that's a better deal!
ReplyDeleteOffice Depot isn't quite close enough to me for that. Cost me more gas to go there than it would be worth.
I pass Staples every time I go out. =)
20 a month??? I'd never meet that limit!
ReplyDeleteMaybe in a year.
You did get some great deals!
ReplyDeletePraising Him,
Kim
There wasn't a Staples out here until a couple of years ago. I went there today. I bought 3 heavy duty binders, 12 highlighters (the ones you got), 200 pencils (for only 25 Cents), and two huge packs of 8.5 x 11 college rule paper. Woot!! Thanks for the heads up. :D I didn't get any folders because I don't need them.
ReplyDeleteyou're welcome, applie, and YAY for getting the deals.
ReplyDeleteHey, Kim! I now have a chat box because of you. =)
I want a chat box, but I don't think it works on wordpress.
ReplyDeleteawww, applie, maybe you can google for something that will work on WP. =)
ReplyDeleteLet me know if you get one!
I gave away some pencils!
ReplyDeleteI was so glad to be able to do that. =)
marty! i got the link for your blog on homeschoolreviews and i just had to say COOL! :-)
ReplyDeletehave you sharpened a pencil yet to check its quality? i hate it when i go to sharpen a pencil and find that the "lead" isn't centered properly.
i want a teacher's card! hmmm... may have to make a trip to staples! :-)
so happy to share in your incredible finds!!! (and to finally be able to put a face to "martysahm")
lol, yes, they sharpen fine. They're Dixon pencils, which is common.
ReplyDeleteGlad you visited my blog! =)
