and can I learn how to be a staples whore? sometimes I post here when there's a decent deal. They're getting fewer and further between though. Slickdeals is a good source for info; here is next week's thread. There is some speculation Staples will put out coupons this weekend to make paper free after rebate starting Sunday.
Office Depot just merged with Office Max, which means less competition. Which means less loss leaders and fewer deals overall.
First thing I do is redeem my Discover Card rewards for Staples gift cards. It has one of the best redemption rates at Discover, redeem $20 in Discover rewards and get a $25 Staples GC. Then I use those to fund my Staples whoring. After sales tax, I get my $20 back and a mountain of office supplies.
You can also buy empty ink cartridges cheap on eBay, then bring them to the store for recycling and rewards $. Then spend the rewards on free after rebate stuff to make money. Or you can buy all kinds of things with your Staples ink rewards -- besides the obvious office supplies and ink, they sell toilet paper, paper towels, office snacks (pretzels, etc), bottled water, etc. The ink recycling program is going downhill too. Sigh.
this thread on Slickdeals has a lot of information about "Stapling" aka whoring it up at Staples.
