    Ouch, our store ad does not include the Schoolio binders for 25 cents.LOL

  2. Rachel

    My best friend was told both by the store and customer service that office max does not accept manufacturer coupons. Has anyone else had this issue?

    • milliy

      Rachel, I just used 2 printed out coupons yesterday at my local OfficeMax and didn’t have any problems. I hope this helps.

  3. Valerie

    Collin, Can’t you use the Office Max in Ad Coupon + $1 Sharpie Gel Highlighter 2 pack or larger coupon to make for FREE Highlighters?

  4. mypricesavings

    both the employees and the store manager explained to me that the rewards do not roll. I did not use this wording I just asked could I buy rewards items with previous rewards and still get the new rewards, they kindly explained that I would not receive the new rewards so I did not get the backpacks I really needed…now after reading all the comments on here old posts and the vid post I feel confident to join this program and start taking advantage of these savings!

    • milly

      If you’re talking about the regular rewards, yes they do not roll, but the BONUS rewards do.

    My area (S. FL) extended their teacher appreciation days through Monday August 6- 25% off including sale items! Unlike Staples, they are allowing qty 20 on the 25 cent markers etc for teachers. I got that $44 case of Boise copy paper for $33 and will be getting that same amt back in Max Perks rewards. 🙂

    Just got back from Office Max. Our store was giving away 5 composition notebooks with a $5 dollar purchase. Teachers get 20 times that amount. Yahoo I was able to get 100 notebooks for free! I love donating these to the schools and back to Office Max school drop.

    • vp

      April27 where does it say teachers get 20 times the amount? I would love to snag that deal and donate for our school.

      • angie

        august 11th and 12th…. its at the bottom of the paper

  7. Angie

    I have a question. Do I need the original ad to use the coupons inside of it or can I just print off the page from the website with the coupons?

    • angie

      print it

  8. Stefanie

    Wow, in SC we are missing out on a LOT of these deals! I made the mistake of driving to Office Max without looking at my local ad. Big mistake. No 50 cent scissors, no in-ad coupon for the Sharpie Highlighters, 72 ct.pencils, or Quartet dry erase. Sooooo disappointed right now.

    • Cheryl

      Yes, the same thing in NM!

  9. angie

    just got back frm offie max… they did honor his ad. we saved over $35.00
    they will price match if you speak to the manager.
    good luck and happy shopping

  10. Cheryl

    This store seems very confused to me. No one there knew what was going on. No in-ad coupons here either. I emailed corporate because I walked out of there with nothing.

  11. Jill Pearson

    so you cant use your max rewards to purchase different stuff that has max perx rewards on a different week?
