I am so burned out on the mac and cheese! I wish there were sales on something else!
ReplyDeleteDid you get the staples 5 off 20 coupon in the newspaper today? Mine did not have it, I am trying to figure out if it is just me, or did no one else get it too.
No Staples coupon in the Post-Dispatch. I got all excited, thinking maybe Staples had moved into St Louis & I had missed it. I check the store locator - closest stores are in Mt. Vernon and Rolla.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I haven't been excited about Walgreen in weeks. Although, I had $4 in RR expiring, so I picked up some All detergent.
Jefferson City has a Staples and I spent $24 after the $5 off coupon. I got 2 reams of paper, 2 packs of pencils, and 2 packs of 4x6 picture paper for $24. I submitted the rebates online in two minutes and have $27 in rebate checks coming! I explained the deal to the lady behind me and she said I don't print my own pictures. I said I don't either. I told her I let my kids color on the paper and they are basically paying me to take them. She still wasn't convinced, oh well. Love back to school sales.
ReplyDeleteI missed the Jefferson City loction on the Staples store locator.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how people don't have "get" couponing. I've had many people look at me like I was crazy. Oh well, their loss.
