MMitchell29 Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Will the 1 cent sale be something I can purchase online?
dmmiller Posted July 4, 2008 Author Posted July 4, 2008 No, the email i got said in-store only. And from what I experienced last year.. you gotta go early, cuz when it sells out, its gone.
Swampbaby Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 what is the limit for teachers?Last year there was no limit. Even when they have limits I would make a purchase (as well as hubby if he was with me plus anyone else I might know that was in the store) and then make another purchase. I was able to stock up for several teachers who live miles from our Staples (our son's school was 25 miles from home and Staples is 1 mile).
Azzycat Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 Thank you thank you thank you!!! Our Staples ALWAYS sells out by Monday morning, sometimes even Sunday afternoon, so we'll definately be going early Sunday!
liz harley Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 Go early - everything goes fast and the lines are long. Watch the flyers each week - for the next few weeks there will be many of these 1 cent sales and school promos.
lindabacker Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 Limits for reg customers - dont know about teachers: 2 per customer pencils and purel 4 per customer poly binders 10 per customer paper folders You can pull up ad on their site by clciking on weekly add then click sneak peak
2kids-3dogs Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 oh wow - thank you! i got so much of this stuff last year - i still have some leftover. can't wait for those super item sales - i got a really nice computer bag for $3 last year.
fluffkin79 Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 Go early - everything goes fast and the lines are long. Watch the flyers each week - for the next few weeks there will be many of these 1 cent sales and school promos.Are you talking about just staples? Or do other stores do this kind of sale, too? Sometimes I don't get to the ads till Mon or Tues, I guess I'll have to make them a priority!
love2beurwifey Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 I am patiently waiting. Well actually not so patiently. I really can't wait. I am doing boxes for all the kids in my niece and nephews class as well as boxes for underprivileged kids. This is a great way to give back to the community at a low expense. I still have crates filled up with stuff from last year and this year I am going to be a christmas angel and adopt a child in my moms memory. I already know the age range I want to do and I have the toys and clothes so I am going to fix a school box too.
kjunea Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 last year, they let teachers get 15 deals each. I went back several times..... They have me registered as a teacher and know me, so they didn't ask for my ID, but they did ask the lady in front of me!
trbarginhunter Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 check your Office Depot online ads, too, they should be having school sales starting soon. Two years ago I got such great deals on the mead 5 star notebooks that we didn't have to buy any until now. And I usually buy extra pens for the school office, they really appreciate them!
MMitchell29 Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 This is so unfair................there is not one staples in the state of Louisiana
conj Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 ok, we went today. all 4 of us got the purell, pencils, folders, some binders, and 2 of us got the highlighters.
MMitchell29 Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 If anyone wants to pick me up a few things from staples I would be very grateful and be more than happy to have it shipped tp me.
thmain Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 They were out of the highlighters.....huge line at the store prior to opening....I went for the pencils, purell, folders, and paper. When I left pencils and purell and paper were gone! Glad to be stocked up for school though!
liz harley Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 Are you talking about just staples? Or do other stores do this kind of sale, too? Sometimes I don't get to the ads till Mon or Tues, I guess I'll have to make them a priority!Staples has the 1 cent sale for th next 4-5 weeks. don't forget to check the clearance aisle- I saw post it notes for .50 /pack, different pens, boxes of cookies, lap top bags, and plenty of other junk. If you bring in empty ink cartridges (Dell, HP, some others) you will get 3.00 for each cartridge you bring in (check out that program). they used to give you a 3.00 Q at the register and it was unlimited, but once again, due to the abuse of some people, they have changed their policy(much stricter now).
citrixgirl Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 ok well in the course of our other shoping we passed 3 different stapleas.. the frist one both hubby and I went in we got all the penny things plus hubby got the highlighters and his usb key that he wanted.... I got just the penny items three times.. frist 2 were 1.22 which i was all set with my 1.22 for the third one but the kid missed one of the binders so it came to .95(did not notice till I got outside). I guess that is a free binder on them...... I know that the family i have adopted for school supplies will appreciate whatever I give so this just means more to get at the next sale.
4gr8girls Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 We had 7 people so we got 30 folders (didn't think I would need more), 4 binders (again only what I thought we needed), 14 purells and 14 packs of pencils. My total was around $2. Not too shabby!
kdspark Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 I lucked out and they let me use my substitute badge to get a teachers 25 each limit. So now my kids and nephew are set. Notebook paper is suppose to be 9 cents next week. They were getting stuff all set up at WM when i went by there. It looks as if spiral notebooks will be 15cents. D
love2beurwifey Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 If anyone wants to pick me up a few things from staples I would be very grateful and be more than happy to have it shipped tp me. I can pick up whatever just pm me if you need something .
love2beurwifey Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 our stores had plenty of things leftover. I am going back tomorrow for more
goody2shoes3012 Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 teacher limit is 25 and you are able to go back more than once....
dd50 Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 I didn't know about the sale, it wasn't in my paper. I will have to go tomorrow morning and see if they have anything left.
tavera Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 Teacher limit is 25, but you need to apply for the Teacher's Rewards Card - super simple. Our store didn't have a line or anything - we went around noon on Sunday and they had plenty of everything - i'm going back today to get another round :)
