Swampbaby Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Yep, they let me get 25 items this year. Got 25 of the purell, pencils and folders! Going back today to get 25 more of the pencils and purell. I also got the highlighters for DD for college! Looking forward to more sales!!I went to our local Staples (only one around in 60 miles) and they said the limits were being strictly enforced and teachers had no higher limits like in the past years. Bummer. Wonder if this is only our local store or really a system-wide situation that simply is not being enforced in other locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTmommy Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I picked up the cheap and FAR deals yesterday, and wanted to mention a BONUS 1 cent item I found (not advertised in my flyer). In addition to the Dixon 8 pk of pencils (plastic wrapper) for 1 cent, our local store also had Dixon ORIOLE 12 pk of pencils (cardboard box) for 1 cent (limit 2). So there's a way to get 40 pencils (two 8-pks + two 12-pks) for 4 whole cents!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

genaa Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Has anyone tried to price match the 1 cent items at WalMart? I was thinking of doing that. My closest Staples store is 20+miles. Please post if you were successful at price matching. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biomajor Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I got 25 of each item. I had to show my school ID, and the manager had to approve it, but it wasn't a big deal. I went back later tonight and they were out of the purell, but I picked up 10 more folders and 4 of the binders that I had forgotten this morning. The teacher I worked with/for last year used a different colored folder for each class and made them keep a "portfolio/notebook". I don't know what the new teacher will do, but it's better to have them, than to not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmmiller Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 I talked to the cashier.. and asked her if they were doing different 1 cent things each week, she told me no. But they were going to do another 1 cent sale next month, closer to school start. She Also said this sale is suppose to end today (wed.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda050103 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Has anyone tried to price match the 1 cent items at WalMart? I was thinking of doing that. My closest Staples store is 20+miles. Please post if you were successful at price matching. TIAI thought about the same thing. Only problem I can imagine having is that it has to be the same brand. I don't know if they carry the same brands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cberrytech Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I thought about the same thing. Only problem I can imagine having is that it has to be the same brand. I don't know if they carry the same brands.I think that is why they put item numbers in the ad. I don't think you can price match unless it is the same item number. Just like tv's during black friday. Everyone just has to have their own stinkin model number! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait until the other penny sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdrd90 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I was able to price match everything in the staples ad that I wanted at walmart. I limited what I matched, but as far as the checker was concerned, he didn't care how many items I had. Hope that helps someone with the next ad. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
