I have to admit that I never used to shop Staples until I started to mystery shop them. I paid a lot more to buy things for my home office at “discount” stores. I really like the store, but I like having stuff delivered even more. As a Rewards member, they don’t charge me for shipping. It’s great. All it takes is signing up; there’s no fee, no minimum purchase or anything. Every quarter, I get a Rewards check to spend there. It’s tied to how much I spend. The last check was almost $40, which I took and spent on some clearance items that went into my gift closet. Free gifts!
Right now, Staples has a 30% off sale on selected supplies. One of these is the stackable trays. These are great to unclutter your desk. At 13″ wide, they’re also good for scrapbooking paper. Paul has some for “in” and “out” on his desk. Unfortunately, both seem to be full of bills. I like the trays because it keeps everything together, but everything separate at the same time.
They’re on sale for $5.59. If you add in code “95918”, an additional $2 will come off during checkout. That makes them $3.59 for six trays – shipped.
Since you’re already at the site, browse around for other good deals. Here’s one:
A 50 pack of Staples 8 1/2″ x 11 PHOTO paper for only $2.98. It’s $9.98, but there’s an instant $7 coupon. This is a great price, especially if you regularly print your own photos. I’ve used their photo paper before, and it’s nice and thick and holds the ink. The photos look very good.
Another Staples deal, through 3/10/07, is 50% off selected bookcases. Since I suffer from that homeschool affliction of having too many books, this is a real blessing. $25 for a 5-shelf bookcase is great, especially when I don’t have to go pick it up. Staples really does live up to its slogan.
