The copy paper at my store rang up $2.97 a pack and the rebate amount shows $3.68. Surely, that’s not right…but if it is I made money on my transaction today!

FYI, i was able to use the Bic Pen coupon. My printer dinged me and I only had one printout. But still, a free pen. I forgot about the moneymaker with the photo paper! darn. I got 2 packs of copy paper, 2 sets each of pencils, bic pens, scissors and erasers, 2 of the magic tape (kicking myself for not bringing my coupons!) 2 staplers, 1 sharpie, 1 set of glue sticks @1.99 (to reach $20) — used the 5/20 and $1 Bic Q for a grand total of 15.89 (tax is 9.25% in CA). And I’ll be getting 7.xx back! Not too shabby I think.
Thanks for the great deal!

My cashier told me that she couldn’t accept them because they stated “not valid with any other offer” and that the sale was an ‘offer’. I didn’t feel like debating this at the time, so I just told her to take the items off. Just then the manager (who knows me because I’m there so much!) walked by and the girl grabbed her. After some questions on how many items I had, etc. to make sure I was using them legitimately/appropriately she said “yes. She can absolutely use them!”

Kim- you should definitely have been able to use them.

I went to Staples today and they did not accept the BIC white out coupon. They said that they do not accept any coupons unless they are from Staples :[ So I’m going to go try to use the coupons some place else.

To answer the question about rebate limits. Yes – you are only allowed 2 per household. It did seem to good to be true. I called customer service and asked the manager at the store. Stock up on pencils using your 25 teacher limit but only buy two reams of paper.

Just a little heads up when printing the BIC coupons…
Only one coupon prints per page, along with a detailed description below. So, just in case you think like I did and choose 3 different coupons to maximize one sheet of paper, don’t, the coupons print out individually. I sure hope the coupons work at the Staples here in Houston. I barely go to office supply stores once a year so I have no idea what to expect when I present the internet printable coupons. “crossing my fingers”

Staples is SO GOOD to their teachers. I went last year to the penny day(s) (yes there will likely be more in the coming weeks!) and they encouraged me to take even more than 25 & split it into multiple purchases. It was totally their idea – the cashier/manager told me to just bring up as many as I could fit in the cart & he’d just split them up. I ended up with 800 something pencils after this. My class will still be using them this year – wonderful for my low-income school where the kids sadly don’t even have a pencil at home to do their homework with.

This is in response to Dianne’s comment— you can get 15-25 items with your teacher reward card. I live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and sometimes the limits change based on quantity on hand. Just show your teacher reward card and you qualify to purchase more of the one cent items. Hope this helps.

Great deals! I've never shopped at Staples before - there's none close to me. But I'll be scouting one out and making the trek! I also highlighted this deal on my blog along with a $3.46 MM scenario I put together based on the prices, coupons, and rebates. Sweetness.

I’m not really sure, Heather. I think it’s probably two per address, but I’m sure you could verify it with customer service.

I can't find anywhere on the Staples website if you can do multiple rebates on items that are a limit of 2. For instance, if I want two reams for home and two reams for my organization, can I buy two and my husband buy two and each of us submit the rebate? Since it was a product limit of two I didn't know if they'd recognize two rebate requests coming in from the same address. Heather´s last blog post..Happy Independence Day!

How do you get the information on teacher cards allowing 25 limit? Is that only on the in store specials or does that include the rebates too? I have had a teacher card for a long time cause I’m a teacher too and never knew that. Thanks…

I’ve never used manufacturer coupons at Staples before – do they take them as a corporate policy or is it a store by store thing?

Jennifer, all of the items listed are a limit of 2.
