Where are you seeing the photo paper and rebate? I can't find it online so I want to be sure before I go in. Thanks Jenny for all you do to help us save.

Yes, I'm looking online for the printing calculators also, and I don't see them. Is that just an in-store special?

This is Sharp Model: EL-1611PA, Item: 521899 . It is a very small printing calculator. They work fine, but the full-size is easier to use.

I received two rebates, but isn't there Staples Rewards or something? I'm afraid mine are going to expire. I thought I had to have them in hand to shop, but have not received them. Where do I go to find out the Staples info?

To receive the Staples rewards, you must have and use your Staples rewards card. It is free and the cashier should scan it with every purchase. Your rewards are mailed out separately every month. I recycle my ink cartridges and get $3 per cartridge in Staples Rewards. They usually expire in 60 days and can only be used at Staples. You can get more info on Staples website- www.staples.com.

I used a Bic $1/2 coupon that expires 9/30/10 and the highlighters were $.50 each.

are the rebates really easy and you always get your money? Mimi

I have started doing the Easy Rebates and LOVE them. I really like that I can do them online and do not have to fill out paperwork and mail it in (saves on postage too). :-) I have always gotten my Easy Rebate money...it does take several weeks, but I have 4 checks to cash that I got in the mail last week...I had to invest some of my grocery budget up front, but I am hoping that I can roll my rebates over, now that I have some checks to cash.

A few weeks ago was my first attempt at Staples Rewards. I was not sure about them, so was asking the cashier all sorts of questions etc. The guy behind me in line says that they really work and that he has gotten several of them. (My understanding is that they are basically like the CVS "cash" and the Walgreens "cash". Works the same as cash, but you have to use it at that store only.) So I have jumped in and tried them...still waiting on my Rewards coupon...he said it is mailed once a quarter. I am hoping to get a paper cutter and a bigger notebook. :-D

Thanks.

YES! A paper cutter! Thanks for the idea. I have a lot of Staples Rewards that I intended to use towards a printer, and then my son brought a used laser home from a job he did, so I didn't know what I'd do with my rewards. I've been really wishing for a paper cutter, but knew I couldn't buy a new one. Or thought I knew. :)

funny just sitting here reading the comments... i bought a great paper cutter like 6 years ago to use for my at home business for 25 cents! just so happened to be at a yardsale (have gone to three in my life!) and picked it up, it is the BEST one money could buy!! you will enjoy having one for sure!

Easy rebates aren't too bad. You can do them online..........not mail them in. I think it takes about 2-3 weeks to get the check but that's better than 6-8 weeks.

Thanks...I will try and I like the news about submitting them online!
