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!
