Minus 5% for using my Staples Reward Card
Minus $4.00 ink reward coupon I had from turning in an old cartridge
Plus $2.53 in Sales Tax = $37.43
I then went to stapleseasyrebates.com and entered in my rebate information (it was so easy, that I was able to do it while having a fairly serious phone conversation with a close friend). I will receive three rebate checks back:
$13.48 - for the 2 reams of paper (making them only $.25 each)
$4.99 - for the Desktop Calendar (making it free)
$2.99 - for the Super Glue (making it free)
Total Refund: $21.76
Total Net Spent: $15.67
Interesting Note: I needed the Handy File and 3-Tab File Folders that were not on sale, nor did I have coupons for those! Just those two things were $15.78 - my 5% discount + sales tax. Basically what that means is that since I had the $4 coupon, I paid for those two essential items - and then got everything else for free! I hope you can see that you can literally walk into Staples - and come out with about $52.19 for about $3-4. Keep in mind that you do have to pay for the easy rebate items up-front, and then wait for your rebate check to arrive (normally about 4-6 weeks). So much fun! I felt like a kid in a candy store! :-)
