Staples Back To School Deals for Next Week

Staples will have multipurpose paper for $0.01 after Easy Rebate (and they are really easy) limit 2.  I'm not sure if the limit applies to the week before last's deal on the same item, or if it's a new deal so you can do it again. I'll find out and let you know. . . Yep, it's a new deal, so you can get 2 more packs and still get the rebate!! 

Also, they will have ball point pens for $0.01/8 pk limit 2 (teachers' limit 25) with $5 in store purchase.  You can buy your multipurpose paper 2 @ $4.99 each (before rebate) to meet that requirement!

And. . . the best deal EVER!!!  I did this last year and it was fantastic: buy ANY backpack and get 100% of the purchase price back in Staples Rewards!!  That makes it completely FREE!!  I got a really nice backpack last year, so I don't know if I need to do it this year or not, but maybe I could get one and donate it to charity.  You must have a Staples Rewards account, and give your card or phone number to the sales person when you purchase and your "check" will come in a few months.  You have to spend it at Staples, but who doesn't constantly need printer ink, right???

They will also have the following items for $0.25 each:
~Zebra retractable Gel Pens, black, 5pk, after easy rebate, limit 1
~Staples Hype pen style assorted Highlighters, 6pk, limit 2, no rebate required
~0.14 liter Really Useful box, limit 2, no rebate required

And finally, Staples has a 4GB USB Flash Drive for $9.99!

$12 for $25 worth of food @ Habaneros through Groupon

Habaneros is a restaurant in one of the new shopping centers south of I-20 on Cooper that we've been meaning to try.  What better time to try than when we can get 52% off buy buying this Groupon!!  AND, since someone I know signed up and purchased a Groupon recently, I got $10 off, so it was only $2!!!  SWEET DEAL!

***FYI it took me a long time to complete my purchase. . . I think the site is having issues today.  Stick with it, or try again later, it's worth it!!

Good School Supply Deals @ Office Max

$0.25 limit 3 for each of the following items:

~ Glue (package with 1 bottle and 2 sticks)
~Pencil Sharpener
~Sharpie Singles

$0.20 limit 3, for kid scissors

$0.50 limit 3 Bic Cristal Pens

In my experience, they are not as teacher-friendly with the increased limits, but still a great deal on some things.  I'm going to get some Sharpies!!  Remember, you can go back and max out your limit each day or go to multiple locations if you need lots of stuff, as long as they are still in stock.

FREE Expo Dry Erase Markers @ Office Deopot

This is another mail-in rebate from Office Depot, but what teacher doesn't use Dry Erase Markers??  Get 'em for your child's teacher or for that family calendar on your refrigerator.  They are also great for writing notes to your family members on the bathroom mirrors! After all, the end up being FREE!  Don't be afraid of mail in rebates.  The check will come in the mail in about a month or so, and it never fails to come just when you need a bit of extra cash!  Let me know if you have questions or need help doing the rebate.  You will get the rebate form with your receipt when you buy them.

Group Discount Programs

I'm totally diggin' the new group discount programs that are popping up.  I've already shared with you my excitement about Groupon in a previous post, but I've found two more websites that do the same thing.  Mamapedia Sweet Deals and Living Social.  Everyday there's a new deal, and if the minimum number of participants is met, then the deal is on, and you get a great deal on whatever it is that's offered that day.  So far I've purchased a painting class, chiropractic massages, carpet cleaning, and tickets to the Texas Discovery Gardens through these sites at amazing discounts.  Businesses participate and offer these deals in hopes of reaching new long term customers, and customers get a super deal so it's a win-win!  Ok, the two new sites I've found are:

Mamapedia Sweet Deals: In addition to a great deal , you also get to designate a school or preschool to receive 5% of your purchase!  Bonus! 

Living Social shows you other things to do in your city of choice, like top rated restaurants and places to go, as well as offering a fantastic deal on something.  

Also, all three sites offer a referral incentive program.  Groupon gives you $10 when someone you have invited gets their first Groupon.  Mamapedia Sweet Deals gives you a $10 credit when your friends join and place their first order, and Living Social gives you your deal FREE if three of your friends buy the same deal.

FREE Mr. Sketch Scented Markers @ Office Depot!

Don't all teachers LOVE these markers???  I do.  If you're not a teacher, but you know one, or your kids have one, I bet they'd like them too. They write on charts really nicely, and they smell sooooooooo good!!   It is a rebate offer, so you have to send off for the rebate to make them FREE, but I always appreciate those "surprise" checks when I'm least expecting it for something that I bought months ago. . . :)  I went yesterday, and they still had about 10 pkgs of them at the store on Little Rd.  They also have a FREE stapler deal but they were out of them when I was there.  Check though, because they might have some when you go!

Staples 1 cent Sales are Back!

I've been checking the ad every week, and it's finally here!  Stapes 1 cent sale starts next week, however they've added a catch this year: there is a $5 minimum purchase. . . booooo!!  I don't know if I'm gong to participate or not because I'm so bummed about the minimum purchase requirement.  Maybe with a teacher's ID, they will waive the minimum purchase?????????  I'll try in on Sunday and let you know.

Next week, Sunday - Wednesday only (7/11-7/14), you can get:

Pocket/Brad Folders for $0.01 limit 10 per household
8pk Pencils for $0.01 limit 2 per household
500sheet multipurpose Paper for $0.01 after rebate limit 2 per household (teachers won't be able to get more
                                                             because it's a rebate on this one)

Teachers have always gotten a much higher limit in the past with ID or a teacher's reward card.  I think you could get 25 of each thing. . .

There's also lots of stuff on sale for  $1, including an 8x10 dry erase board and sticky notes.  These things can count toward your $5 minimum for the $0.01 deals, PLUS, there's a coupon in the ad for $5 off $30.

 Update: Yes, the limit is 25 for teachers w/ID or Staples Teacher Rewards, and yes, you do still have to meet the minimum $5 purchase.  I bought 1 ream of paper for $4.99, a Sharpie marker for $0.99, and 25 pkgs of pencils, and 25 folders.  My total was $7.00 and I will get $4.98 back by Easy Rebate making my cost for all that only $2.02!!!  Staples has a really easy rebate system where you don't even have to mail anything in.  You just go online and enter 2 numbers off of the rebate reciept and enter your address, and poof!  All done!

Super deals at the Cheesecake Factory!!

Ohmygosh, I can hardly contain my self because I LOVE the Cheesecake factory, and they rarely ever have any deals or discounts, but. . .

1.  Go to facebook and "fan" the Cheesecake Factory.  Then it will take you to the Fan Exclusive tab, where you will be directed to print out a coupon for a slice of their new flavor: Reeses Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake Cheesecake.  With the coupon, on Thursday, July 29th ONLY, you can get a slice of it for only $1.50. 

2. Every summer they do a promotion for National Cheesecake Day, on July 30th.  You can go in and get 1/2 all cheesecake slices when you dine in.

Also on the facebook page, there's a silly quiz to find out your "perfect cheesecake match,"  and you can be really mean and send your friends virtural slices of cheesecake if you want to make them drool. :)

Retailmenot.com

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER pay retail prices on line unless you've checked out retailmenot.com first!! Just search for the store you're purchasing from and most often, a coupon code will come up to save you some money.   I just ordered some pictures from CVS, and checked retailmenot.com before I checked out and saved $2.50!  I was going to buy the pictures anyway, but I got them cheaper because I took a moment to check the site.

Composition Notebooks are $0.25 at Walmart 7/11-7/17

  They DO NOT get cheaper than this!!!  Once the school supply frenzy really hits, the best price you can find is $0.50 each, so get them next week at Walmart, while they're only $0.25 each!! 

Blockbuster Express FREE Rental Codes

If you haven't tried these Blockbuster kiosks yet, you'll love them.  They're just like Redbox (which I LOVE); $1 per movie, per night. Also, they have movies available on the first day they come out, whereas Redbox has to wait a little while on certain movies before they can offer them.  You'll find the Blockbuster kiosks inside QuickTrip gas stations.  Have you seen them at other places?  Leave a comment and let everyone know where else we can find them!
Here's your FREE movie rental codes:
