Today we decided to try the Staples backpack deal since the Office Max one didn’t work out. My daughter is the only one who needed a new one this year.
Here is the breakdown:
Pink backpack (Comes with matching lunchbox, and 2 additional zippered bags) $29.99 (originally $39.99, on sale for 25% off)
String backpack (on our 4th grade supply list) $5.99 This brand was not included in the backpack deal.
Lunch box $9.99
2 Boxes of colored pencils $1.58 ($.79 each)
- $10 off $50 Office Depot Coupon (expires 7/29)
= $40.18 OOP
I submitted my rebate online, in the middle of writing this post. If you do not do this, you will NOT get the price of the backpack back. I recommend doing the rebate online or mailing it in, on the same day of your purchase. You can read my rebate survival for more info. They will send me a gift card in 4-6 weeks. I hope to roll this over for more Staples reward items.
My receipt is a little confusing. It looks like she took the $10 off coupon, off of the backpack, making it $19.99.
My rebate form says $29.99 so I’m not sure which price I’ll be getting back.
So, all of this for $20.19 or $10.19 after Staples rebate. Either way it’s a good deal.
Did you do the Office Max or Staples deals this week? How did you do?
