    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Oopsie! Thanks for catching that! ๐Ÿ™‚ Just updated!

  2. Susie

    Staples accepts manufacturer coupons?

    • Lynn

      My local Staples does. I live in Southern Nevada.

    • milly

      Mine does not, I live in LA, California. Grrr..

  3. maflies1

    In NW AR, mine does.

  4. johnathans_jiggle

    I’ve never done an easy rebate. Has anyone had any problems with them, or are they pretty good about getting your check to you?

    • mary

      I’ve often not received the rebates. And when you do get them, they’re sent in very plain/discreet looking envelopes that look like junk mail (Staples is not written on them anywhere) so beware!

      • Trish

        I have never received a Staples rebate in an envelope. It’s usually postcard sized, similar to how Rite Aid rebates come in the mail. You can also opt to have the rebate deposited directly into your Paypal account! It’s so super EASY ๐Ÿ™‚

        • milly

          I have also not received any Staples rebate in an envelope- always in a postcard. I have been doing the Staples Rebates for several years and I’ve never had a problem with them. I appreciate their method of submitting the rebates via the internet– so easy and saves on postage money!

      • ly

        i did my first ones, do online and send to ur paypal acct. super easy, then i use my paypal blance to order more coupons:)

    • Penny

      We do the easy rebates often…You enter it all in online and you get the check within a couple weeks. EASY!

    • Ann Mc

      The rebate is super easy. I usually got the check within 4 weeks. They email you each time the rebate completed and when they send out your check so you can look for it. I did a lot of rebate and Staple easy rebate is my most favorite.

    • Callie

      Easy as pie! If you are worried about them getting lost, use the PayPal option.

  5. Megan Vaughan

    I tried to use my bic coupon last week and they would not let me. I will try again this week.

    • Samantha

      Agreed. They told me that since it’s an ‘extreme deal’ they do not accept coupons for it. However, nothing in the ad states that and with some gentle persuasion they agreed to accept it. Staples has been nothing but trouble this back to school season! Best of luck to you. : )

  6. june

    some staples dont take manufactures qpons if it is on sale like mine in florida

    • milly

      mine does not as well

    • Jana

      My staples in arkansas does not take coupons for sale items either ๐Ÿ™

      • mb

        where n ar bc fort smith store does

        • Jana

          I’m in Searcy. The walgreens here is awful with coupons too.

  7. archie

    are the expo dry erase marker coupons regional? i did not find them in my smart source.

  8. koko

    Just so you guys know, I live in central FL and when I went to Staples this morning, their ad had no penny deals and the mechanical pencils were not on sale for fifty cents. I was however able to take advantage of the easy rebates, so not a wasted trip by any means!

  9. Tiffany

    Does anyone have the offer number for the Bic pens that were $2.49 with the $2.49 easy rebate? They usually start with 12-…
    My rebate form didn’t print even though I purchased the right product and would prefer not to have to call customer service if I don’t have to. Thanks in advance ๐Ÿ™‚

    • Rebecca

      Which week was that?

      • Tiffany

        It just started today, 8/26 ๐Ÿ™‚

    • Paola

      The Rebate Offer Number is 12-11542. Do you by any chance have the Rebate Offer Number for the Sharpie 5-pack Highlighters?? The cashier ran out of receipt paper and when he placed a new roll, it didn’t print the top of the Rebate Redemption Form ๐Ÿ™

      • Tiffany

        12-11543

  10. Kim

    I did the last paper rebate- the one that ended yesterday. Can I do this one again?

  11. Brenda

    They also are paying 3X rewards on recycled ink cartridges. $6 per cartridge – limit 5 per person with $50 HP ink purchase… sounds like almost free ink to me!

  12. Joanne

    Wow I went to Staples today and paid $20.14 and after rebates I will end up paying
    $.67 for my haul.

    Here’s what I got:
    1 photo paper $8.99 (free after rebate)
    1 Avery tab product $3.99 (free after rebate)
    1 Bic pens $2.49 (free after rebate)
    1 Highlighter pack $4.00 (free after rebate)
    4 yellow pencils $.04
    3 cap erasers $.03
    2 pks Sharpie black markers $.50 each
    4 pks Avery by Martha Stewart divider pockets (for coupon binder) $1.90
    on clearance and found $2.00 coupon off 1 ( used 4) over by other Avery binders
    at back of store

  13. Julie V

    My Staples had some BIC pens on clearance for .50 so free with the $1/2 Q!! I looove the Staples clearance section.

  14. apple

    check your email–more free paper with the $2 off copy paper and rebate like last week. This is so nice.

  15. Sue

    I purchased the photo paper last week and it says the rebate will be a prepaid visa. Is this something different than the normal rebates?

  16. Kim

    Thanks for this great info! But, um, I might have gone ahead and gotten a basket of great deals…and then gotten another. And then, I might have submitted rebates twice under my name. (I submitted for a refund on highlighters – I asked for the refund to come under my name to my house…and then I did the exact same thing again.) Does anyone know if this will be caught? I feel so silly.

    • Paola

      They will only reimburse you one rebate per item (except the paper. There is a limit of 2). They look at the address (one per household). So anything over will not be reimbursed. HTH
