    They also have 16 double rolls of Charmin Basic toilet paper for $5.99 at Staples. Pair that with the $2/1 Charmin coupon and you can get it for only $3.99!

    • SCMel

      Ida,

      Is that for the sale through 12/31, or for the new sale beginning on Sunday? Thanks!

      • http://mycouponbox.blogspot.com/ Ida Q.

        Starting Sunday 1/1.

    • Kelly A

      Ida,

      Were did you find the Charmin coupon? Thanks in advance!

      • http://mycouponbox.blogspot.com/ Ida Q.

        I got mine off ebay. Apparently they were blinkies from Kroger stores.

  • Lilsaver

    Dear Jenny if I use my rewards from the batteries can buy the deal paper and get the easy rebate since what I have is rewards Im still lilttle confuse about these thank you

    • http://www.southernsavers.com/ Jenny

      Yep! You can use rewards toward rebate items, just not toward more rewards products.  Hope it helps.

      • Bob

        Is that the same at office depot too? You can’t use rewards toward other rewards items?

        • http://www.southernsavers.com/ Jenny

          The only store that lets you roll them is Office Max. Stay tuned for a full guide on each store over the next week.

  • Kellypup

    I’m confused by the first deal. You have a link to the Scotch tape. The coupon expires 12/31/11 but the sale doesn’t start until 1/1/12?

  • Ragan

    Could someone please tell me where you find the $5 off $25 coupon? Thanks!

    • http://www.southernsavers.com/ Jenny

      It will be in the printed Staples ad this weekend. Check your newspaper, mailbox or find one at the store.

      • Ragan

        Thanks so much…we save so much money with your site! I’m addicted!

      • Terenanic

        There’s a good chance the $5/25 won’t be in the ad in-store, it’s probably just in the paper.  At least that was the case for me when I tried to find an in-ad coupon for Staples a while back.

    • Sniperella

      I was able to go to Staples web-site and click weekly ad, and it lets you print the coupon from there.

  • Reesefamilyshops

    Can someone please explain what 100% Staples rewards means?  Is it just a credit on your card in that purchase amount?

    • http://www.southernsavers.com/ Jenny

      It’s a store credit certificate. Here are all the details about the program: http://www.southernsavers.com/2011/12/save-at-office-supply-stores-staples-rewards-easy-rebates/

  • CJ

    My Staples $5/25 coupon says it cannot be used with Easy Rebate deals.

    • Guest

      Mine says it cannot be used with other coupons or instant savings…. Not sure if easy rebate is instant savings…. Think not.

  • Pbrown6253

    anyone remember where the powerbag is on sale? thanks pam

  • laurie

    hi – went to staples and they ahve lysol on clearance for 1.50 a canister – i had a by 2 get $50 off so that was a nice little find…. :O)

  • Lrae17

    Is unethical to go twice or more and use the $5/$25 more than once at Staples?  I always feel torn on these things when the coupon says one per household, but then you’re allowed to print it more than once.  

    • ab

      If you have to ask, then it probably is. 

      • Lrae17

        I guess you’re right.  Thanks for helping me confirm my conscious.  :-)  I only went once.  I guess I was more wondering if I was missing something as there have been 1 or 2 things I assumed were unethical until someone explained how that particular coupon rule really works.  Anyway, thanks!

  • Brooke

    I purchased the plastic totes at Staples and I know their rewards are issued monthly and don’t expire for 2 or 3 months. Was thinking of buying more at Office Depot. Is there program similar? Just wondering how long the rewards will be good for and how long it will take to get them. Since you can roll the rewards, I don’t want to rack up too many office supply rewards credits, there is only so much that I need at office supply stores.

    Thanks!!
