Last year I learned about Staples Back to School savings and have been looking forward to this years deals. They started last Sunday! If you are not familiar with them, they have items for $1, $.50, $.25 and even $.01! Yes just a penny! Last week I scored some binders for $1 and Insertable dividers for $.01, pens for $.25 among other things. To get the penny deal you need to have a minimum purchase of $5, but they always have other items that I will use discounted - which works out for me. I will not buy something that I will not need our use, for me that would be a waste of money, even if it is only a quarter. However, I will buy items that we may not use that would be suitable for sending in the shoe boxes at Christmas for Operation Christmas Child, you can never start shopping too soon! Today I spent a total of $20.60 out of pocket and picked up:
This alone I feel would have been a pretty decent deal, however it gets even better. The purchase of the paper has a $5.99 rebate (for each one). May be a little inconvenient, but so worth it in the end for something that we use and buy normally. Total cost will end up at $8.62 with a total savings of $57.20! Oh how I love saving money!
