First Lady Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 I'm figuring I have to be the first in line to get these deals. Thank you for the heads up!!! I'll be picking up lots of extras (what they allow) for our schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First Lady Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Yeah mine is always sold out after the first day. I'm on vacation, so not sure how this town is, but at these prices, I don't want to risk losing out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mywarmbluefleece Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Do you think people will be lined up before the store opens like on Black Friday? Mine opens at 11 and that seems like everyone will be out of bed by that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conj Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 got our staples stuff today. All 4 of us went. kids each got a basket and got to pay for themselves. great outing. Already applied for the rebate for the pens we got. If anyone here is not a staples reward club member, I'd be thrilled if you'd mail me your barcode from the bottom of your receipt! I need to spend $200/quarter to get anything back... I prob don't spend 200 a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biomajor Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 I was there when they opened, but mainly because I needed to be at Target this am for the 50% off one spot stuff and they are in the same shopping center!! There was LOTS of stuff at mine. I got all mine, looked at routers and calculators and then went to Kroger and remembered I forgot the refill for my Cross Pen so I went back and picked that up at Staples and some more pencils.

CindyIUP Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Got the FAR Flairs and already went to the Staples online rebate center and requested my rebate. Also bought the 1 cent items. My Staples was already sold out of the 25 cent 1 inch binders, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mywarmbluefleece Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 The 1 inch binders seemed really flimsy. I would rather pay an extra 25 cents and get a binder I can use for a few years. I got the Flairs, the one cent items, and one Mead 3 subject notebook...since I had to buy the Flairs and wait for a refund, it came to about $10.75 with cash. Then, I was able to use my inkjet coupons so I only paid $1.34. If I get the money back for the Flairs, I actually ended up earning around $6-$7. (I am not sure how it will work out, but I don't care a whole lot, I really like those Flairs. I'm excited! What is a really good price to wait to purchase some looseleaf and a small pocket sized stapler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biomajor Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Last year the loose leaf was around 15-19 cents a pack(Office Depot)--I think i got staplers for 39 cents at Walgreens with one of their coupon things--I did the same thing with the Flairs, but i'm giving them to my daughter--they will make great "Note" pens LOL The binders are great for what my kids use them for--they put their music and drill in sheet protectors and then put them in these type of binders and roll them up and put them in their instrument cases or back pockets in my son's case LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biomajor Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Has anyone tried comping the staples ad at Walmart Yet?Not here yet--Staples is actually easier to get to for me than WalMart I don't think they'll match the pencils or sharpeners. They are Staples brand, but the rest, they might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccarson1972 Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 Has anyone tried comping the staples ad at Walmart Yet?I went to Walmart today and I didn't try to price match anything based on the Staples brand name on some of the stuff. Walmart usually marks prices down to have a competitive price on items and I found nothing with prices as cheap as Staples. Walmart had .25¢ Crayola Crayons, .25¢ Elmers glue or glue sticks, .10¢ 70 sheet single subject notebooks, and .88¢ Crayola Markers10 pk.(original, not washable). Pencils were .50¢ for a 10 pack. I don't recall how much folders were or if they even had any. At Walmart I just bought crayons, glue sticks, book covers(.68¢ each that fits any size book money back guranteed), the 10¢ notebooks, and scissors which I know will be cheaper before school starts, but I just wanted to get that one thing out of the way and if I find it cheaper, I'll price match it. At Staples I bought 1¢ folders, 1¢ pencils, .25¢ plastic binders, 1¢ pencil sharpeners, Mead 3 subject notebooks for $1.49, and the $7.99 pens that are free after rebate and submitted my rebate online already.

elena_398 Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Wow thats some great pricing. I went to Walmart and bought most of my kids supplies today. I paid 10 cents for notebooks and folders. 20 cents for glue, etc. Wanted to get it out of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2apples Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Sent hubby on Sunday. We both went today and each got some. I will go back tomorrow when I go out. I go in a spent a whole $0.22. I teach and never have enough pencils or folders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajbrowns Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 The reason I asked about price matching is that we are an outreach ministry and we are doing a BACK to SCHOOL Bash mid August and I need school supplies for 500 Children. I plan to attempt to price match and also get to Staples if possible to get these items. I need 3000 pencils and pens, 500 boxes of crayon, 1500 70 page theme books, 1500 glue sticks and 1500 bottles of glue, 500 pairs of scissors, 1500 packs of 150 count notebook paper, 3000 folders with pockets, and 3000 folders with prongs, 500 packs of construction paper, 500 rulers, we plan to also give each child a pair of shoes, and two sets of clothing for school. So we are looking for great buys for these items also. So if you guys will help me keep a look out for good buys on these products I would greatly appreciate it. We are located in Dallas area and are planning this outreach for the southeast area of Dallas County.Thanks Deborah CookHi Deborah! Wow...you've got a lot of buying to do! I'm a teacher and I have found that many stores are willing to give you some of the things that you need. Call all of the office supply stores, Wal-Mart, K-Mart, etc in your area and ask if they will donate ANY of these things in any quantity. If they say no ask them if there is a way for you to purchase more than the allowed amount stated in the ad. I do this every school year for something. Last year it was pocketed folders with prongs. The limit was 10 and they let me buy 300. Sometimes they will and sometimes they won't. It doesn't hurt to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cru Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I raided the local Staples and got all the great deals. I also took my Office Depot ad and they price matched the crayola 24 pack of crayons for .15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teacher here too... well, administrator now but still living in "classroom" mode. :) I ALWAYS ask store managers to do away with the quantity limits for me (I buy stuff in lots of 100), and I haven't been told no yet. Deborah - Walmart has been really good to my school as far as donating products, such as when we put together school supply bags for Hurricane Katrina evacuees. All it takes is a letter explaining what you're trying to do. When I go in tomorrow (that's what I HATE about administration - I have to actually work in the summer now ) I'll see if I can get a contact address for you.
