Office Max Teacher Appreciation PLUS 25% OFF!

On Saturday, July 20th and Sunday, July 21st, Office Max stores will hold their annual Teacher Appreciation Event. Last year, they offered great deals for teachers, plus a gift bag with a planner including a year's worth of coupons. This year, they're going to get even better!

While you're there, be sure to open a Office Max for Teachers reward card. These rewards actually work, unlike some places. In the last year, I've used 4 $10 rewards coupons! They also offer an extra 25% OFF any purchase for teachers!


Check out their Teacher's Corner website here.

Staples, Why?!

In case you haven't heard, Staples just released a major blow to my favorite time of year- Back to School Shopping. Last year, I dedicated a few posts to how much I loved Staples for their amazing Extreme Deals- items for 10 cents, 25 cents, even a penny.The best part was that Staples would give higher limits of these deals for teachers- 25 instead of the 2-item limit for the general public.

However, this year, Staples eliminated this bonus for teachers and we will just have the normal limit on Extreme Deals. They are offering 100% back in Staples Rewards, but how helpful is that in Back to School time? Booo, Staples.

I will still include Staples in my Weekly Ad Roundups, but I won't shop there anymore. Frankly, this is a prime opportunity for other retailers to offer teachers major deals, since many teachers are upset with Staples. I guess we'll see!

Weekly Ad Roundup #2

Friends, Office Depot takes the prize this week for the best deals overall. They have some awesome finds.

Starting this week, I'll only post the cheapest price for each item. Example: if Target has pencils for $1, but Office Max has them for 50 cents, I'll only post the Office Max deal. Hopefully this will make this list a little more manageable!

Office Max:

• 1 cent: 24-pack crayons, 12-inch ruler
• 10 cents: 10-pack pencils
• 50 cents: composition books, 2-pack glue sticks
• $1.50: standard binders
• $2: View binders
• Buy 2, Get 1: Binders, folders, notebooks, Crayola products, copy paper
• Buy 2, Get 2: Expo products, Bic products

Office Depot:

• 5 cents: Folders, protractors, pencil pouches
• $1: Sanitizer, glue, storage bins, pens, pencil boxes
• $2: Single hole punch, name labels, dividers, hand soap
• $3: 2-pack tape, 5-Star notebooks, milk crates, tabs, clipboards, 3-pack Sharpies
• $4: Organizers, staplers, 3-hole punch, pocket planner, 12-pack dry erase
• 20% off for all Office Depot Star Teacher members (Free sign-up at the store, starting August 7th)

Wal-Mart:

• 97 cents: Big erasers, eraser caps
• $1.97: Construction paper pack

Target's deals were not comparable to the other stores this week. They are really focusing on school clothes, so the deals on supplies are not so stellar. They do have $20 dresses, which is really testing my will power this week!

See this post for Staples' deals.

Happy Shopping, and good luck to my friends starting school this week!
