I think these are all limit 2 per customer.
The sales ads sat limit 2 at the 25c price. Can anyone verify if this is set up in their computers to only price 2 at 25c or if it depends on whether the cashier will allow you to purchase more than 2 ??????? TIA
I went to Staples (Knoxville, TN) this morning to get the Bic mechanical pencils ($.25 ea/2) and use my $.50 off coupon. They refused to let me use the coupon. I was told that the corporate policy is not to allow coupons off on items already on sale. It was still a great deal at $.25 each but I was really irritated.
The Bic pencils had a limit of 2 at my staples. Additional ones were 99cents each. I bought 2 for 25cents each and used my coupon, so the additional 50cents came off the other stuff I bought.
I attempted to get the mechanical pencils on Sunday. I was told by the manager that since the coupon was above the sale value, they will not accept it.
I contacted corporate and was told by a customer service rep that staples doesn’t accept manufacturers coupons.
guess i will try to go to target for a price match
FYI – Our area has a limit of 2 of each of the $.25 items per person. If you buy 4 mechanical pencils, 2 will ring up at $.25, and the other 2 will ring up around $2.99.
At my Staples the items were only $.25 for the first two items, then regular price after, so for the bic deal I bought two packs and two packs of 3 x 5 cards for $.25 and everything was free.
Just a quick note: the BIC pencils are a limit of 2 so you wouldn’t be able to buy 4.
The bicmatic pencils, you can only buy 2 at .25 each, after the first 2 they’re more expensive. However the coupon still went through when I was at staples this morning, I guess cause I spent over a dollar??
Love these savings. Thanks for the info.
The mechanical pencil deal will not work because there is a limit of 2 per item. If you’re a teacher, this would work for you, but otherwise no.
all of the $.25 deals are a limit of 2.
I also commented on iMommies about this ~
Even better than the 25 cent items are the Expo Click It markers for $1.50. In and of itself, that is an awesome deal. But add the $1 off coupon that is floating around and they become 50 cents a pack! The coupon is a pdf, so you can print off as many as you need. Yippee.
This is unheard of. We homeschoolers go through those things like water. I am so psyched. We’re going to get more today. Because they dry out so fast, I can’t get a year’s supply, but i sure will get enough to last me through February or March.
The .25 sale has a limit of 2 of each item, so the pencil deal wouldn’t work.
Be careful of that deal with the Expo Clicks. You can only use one per transaction per visit, and if you only buy one Expo Click, the price is 5.99 ( just tried that about an hour or so ago.)
They also have Hammermill copy paper that is $1 after easy rebate. and Photo paper that is $2 after easy rebate. I figured that you could get 2 packs of each and use the $5/$30 to get all of it for $1 or $0.25 each
Copy paper 5.79×2 = 11.58
Canon Photo Paper 9.99*2 = 19.98
Total =31.56
-$5/$30
-1.80×2 instant rebate (if they will let you use the $5/30 b/c of this instant rebate if not you will be just over $2 short and can put in an expo with coupon and the bic pencils)
-2.99×2 easy rebate
-7.99×2 easy rebate
=$1
Yesterday, I tried using that coupon save $1.00 on any two (2) BiC stationery products and it didn’t work. I have two pack of BIC mechanical pencils plus two other .25 cent deals that adds up $1.00 plus tax which I thought qualified what the coupon asked for and covers the $1.00 coupon. The register lady give me attitude for even trying to used a coupon on their sale items like I’m insane. Then she told me save the coupon for next time on regular price BIC products. Overall, I had a bad experience shopping at Staples.
I wasn’t able to use the BIC coupon either, but I didn’t complain because they were only 25 cents. I used to pay more than that when I was going to school for those things.
I also had problems with the printable $5/$30 coupon saying it wasn’t valid, so we had to get a manager to override that. I finally got a shredder too! Now I can de-clutter my desk, at least until the shredder gets jammed.
Teachers, including homeschool teachers, with a teachers reward card through Staples can get up to 25 of each item at 25 cents each. Just show your card first!
Love these sales!
My daughter needed a chair for her desk, so in addition to the supplies, we bought the featured desk chair. It’s on sale for 19.99 (I think it’s 39.99 usually) but you get a $10 rebate in the form of a VISA gift card (you have to submit the rebate). I had just enough supllies to bring the total up to a little over $30 with the $19.99 chair, used the $5 off $30 coupon, and will get the $10 Visa gift card.
I just got off of a live chat with a staples.com rep who told me that Staples does not accept manufacturers’ or competitors’ coupons. Very strange – I’ll give it a shot and see what happens. I would think that at this time of year they would do anything for the business since there’s such competition.
