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!
