Staples Weekly Ad plus scenario using $5 off $50 coupon

Staples sneak peak (courtesy of Staples newsletter) at the upcoming 8/9 - 8/15 weekly ad!

Update: I had errors in my numbers with the scenario...it was actually for the better! Please refer to the bottom of the page for the fixes!

Be on the lookout in this weekends Staples Sales Paper for the $5 off of $50 coupon on the front page!

Free after rebate items:

Casio Handheld labelmaker: $19.99 - $5 instant savings - $15 Easy Rebate (Limit 1) = FREE plus 1 cent overage

Staples Slim-Line Pencil Sharpener: $15.99 - $5.99 instant savings - $10 Easy Rebate (Limit 1) = FREE

Handyline Dry Erase Markers 3pk: $3.99 - $3.99 Easy Rebate (Limit 1) = FREE

Staples Multi-Purpose Paper: 500ct: $5.99 - $1 instant savings - $3.99 easy rebate (Limit 2) = $1 each after rebate!

Staples Brights Colored Paper: $10.99 - $5.99 Easy Rebate = $5 after rebate

Other Sale Items:

Spiral Notebooks 70ct are on sale for $.01 each this week (Limit 6)

Bic Bright Liner Assorted Highlighters are $1 each (Limit 2)
Use: $1/2 IP coupon (no longer available) OR $1/2 coupon in this weekends paper (8/9 SS)!
Price: .50 each

Scenario:
Buy...
1 Label Maker @ $14.99 after instant savings
1 Pencil Sharpener @ $10 after instant savings
1 3pk dry erase markers @ $3.99
2 Staples Multipurpose Paper @ $4.99 each after instant savings
1 Staples Brights Paper @ $10.99
5 Spiral Notebooks @ $.01 each

Total: $50.00

-$5 in-ad coupon (you can print this from the website here!)

= $45.00 plus tax that you will pay out-of-pocket!

Rebates Earned:

$15.00 from label maker
$10.00 from pencil sharpener
$3.99 from dry erase markers
$3.99 from paper *corrected price (from $5.99 error)
$3.99 from paper *corrected price (from $5.99 error)
$5.99 from paper

Total Rebates Earned: $42.96

You will pay $2.04 plus tax for the entire purchase after rebates! Less than the cost of one paper at regular price!

Tip: If your Staples accepts Office Depot as a competitor then you will definitely want to check out Michelle's post here with her scenario using the $10/$50 Office Depot Coupon! You could use the same scenario above to make money at the end. You would profit $2.96 (this would probably take care of tax to zero you out!)

Note: Keep in mind that these rebates take 6 - 8 weeks to arrive after you submit them online!

Actually two of the paper rebates will be 3.99 not 5.99. So you would get back $42.96 in rebates. Still a great deal for all of that!

Yeah...oops! I corrected it! The total is $4.05 plus tax...and yes that is still a good price!

I'm using the excuse that I am soooo ready for the weekend!

Thanks again for letting me know!

I get $49.95 for the total - will that work since usually the pre-tax total is what the coupon is deducted from? If so, a purchase of 5 $0.01 Spiral Notebooks would fix it...

Apparently I did the ad so quickly that I messed the math all up. Thanks for letting me know. I will fix it soon!
