Staples: Stackable Trays for your Desk – 6 for $3.59 SHIPPED

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 … Continue reading →

Just Fax Me! Sharp UX-P115 Plain Paper Fax Machine for $14.98 Shipped (After Rebate)

I bought my first fax machine back in the early 80s when I worked for Panasonic. They were so expensive back then (and it sure wasn’t due to the low commissions for the sales guys!). They were also clunky and not very user friendly. I remember always checking to see if there was a watermark on the faxed paper, because you were never really sure whether it went through or not. Oh, what a long way we’ve come! A fax machine is no longer a luxury, but a necessity if you have any kind of home business going on. Yes, … Continue reading →

I love Staples. They have some really good sales, and their copies are the least expensive around (three cents apiece for now!).

Right now, if you sign up for a free eight-week trial of Sports Illustrated, Time, Fortune, or Money, you’ll get a $20 coupon for $20 off anything at Staples. You’ll get it right then, not mailed to you. I went ahead and signed up for SI for eight weeks, and … Continue reading →

Staples Hometown Views Contest

I consider myself a decent photographer. Not as good as my 14 year old (who got his first magazine credit at 8!), but passable. Every year, we enter our local county fair’s photography division. They judge strictly, because amateurs and professionals are in the same category. I won four years back in the photo essay division, shooting pictures of our A&W’s classic car show. Two years ago, my now 12 year old took Best of Show for Youth for a photo of a covered wagon. He’s a little varmint, one of those that has the golden touch. Last year, my … Continue reading →

The Egg Price Report

What are you paying for eggs this week? In an earlier blog, Frugal Sandwiches, I mentioned how I often make egg salad sandwiches because eggs are a very frugal food. Eggs are a very perishable food, so they often go on sale when there more supply than demand. They can’t just sit on the shelf waiting for demand to increase. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) releases a report twice a week that details what is going on in the egg market. From detailing prices of fresh eggs and frozen eggs to the amount of eggs produced and broken … Continue reading →
