Staples: Amazing Deal on Printer Paper!

I went to Staples yesterday and was able to get everything in the photo above for just $4.50! That's 7 reams of 500-ct paper, plus a set of 20 crayola washable markers.

Here's how I did this deal:

HP Office printer paper 5 ream Case = $9.50 on Clearance
Hammermill Copy Plus copy paper 1 ream = $6.49
Hammermill Copy Plus copy paper 1 ream = $6.49
Crayola 20 Washable Markers = $3.00

Total = $25.48

I used this coupon HERE from Office Depot for $10/$25. Staples will accept competitor's coupons!

So I paid $15.48 out of pocket, and I submitted for a $5.49 rebate for each Hammermill ream of paper = $10.98 total rebate. The Staples rebate was very easy to do - all of the information is printed on your receipt and you can submit online or through the mail. I just did it online and it only took a few minutes to input the codes into their rebate system, and I already got a confirmation that the rebate is being processed!

Paid $15.48 - $10.98 Rebate due
= $4.50 for 7 reams of paper & 1 set Crayola washable markers!!

This is wonderful considering all of the printable coupons that I am using paper for. :)


ANOTHER SENARIO:

If you cannot find the HP paper on Clearance for $9.50, you may want to consider doing the following deal:

Staples Bright White Multi-use paper - 5 ream case = $24.99
Hammermill Copy Plus copy paper - 1 ream = $6.49
Hammermill Copy Plus copy paper - 1 ream = $6.49
TOTAL = $37.97

Use the $10/$25 Office Depot coupon HERE
Pay $27.97 Out of Pocket

Submit for the following rebates:
$5.49 for Hammermill Copy Plus copy paper
$5.49 for Hammermill Copy Plus copy paper
$12.99 for Staples Bright White paper

= $4.00 for 7 reams of paper after rebates!!

Rite Aid: How to get Huggies Diapers for $3.32/pack!

Rite Aid has a Rebate Program. Each month, they advertise certain products that will produce a rebate for you at the end of the month if you purchase them and submit your rebate. I have only done this once, and it was a year ago, but it was fairly easy to do - you sign up for an account online and enter a few pieces of information off of your receipt and it will store that information into your account. At the end of the month, you will be able to go into your account and request a check for all of the rebates that you qualify for. There is a "Single Check Rebate Directory" that they put out each month and it is available in-store at the entrance or you can view the current rebates and also get more information HERE.

They are currently running a promotion (rebate #800) which says: Buy any five (5) packages of participating Huggies Diapers and receive a coupon for a 6th pack of Huggies Diapers FREE! Valid on products purchased between 4/25/10-7/24/10. Here are the participating varieties:

• Supreme Diapers, 20-76ct
• Snug & Dry Diapers, 23-96ct
• Pure & Natural Diapers, 20-33ct
• Overnites, 23-27 ct

These diapers are on sale this week for $8.99/pack. (I'll show you below how to do the deal).

Also, Rite Aid has their own store coupons for $5 off a purchase of $25 or more, and another one for $5 off a purchase of $20 or more. You can earn these coupons and print them by watching some informational videos on their Video Values site HERE.

So here's how I would do the deal:


Transaction #1:
Buy 3 packs Huggies Snug & Dry Diapers at $8.99 each = $26.97
Use 1 Rite Aid store coupon for $5/$25 purchase HERE
Use 3 of the $3.00 off Huggies Diapers coupons HERE or HERE or HERE
Pay $12.97

Transaction #2:
Buy 2 packs Huggies Snug & Dry Diapers at $8.99 each
Buy 2 boxes Huggies Wipes at 2/$5.00
Total = $22.98
Use 1 Rite Aid store coupon for $5/$20 purchase HERE
Use 2 of the $3.00 off Huggies Diapers coupons HERE or HERE or HERE
Use 1 of the $2.00/2 Huggies Wipes coupon HERE or HERE
Pay $9.98

Submit your receipts for Rebate #800 and you will receive a coupon for a FREE Pack of Huggies Diapers.

So you will have paid a total of $22.95. Here's the breakdown: $3.00 for your 2 boxes of wipes, and $19.95 for 6 packs of diapers (the 5 that you purchased, plus the FREE one which you will receive a coupon for).


= $3.32/pack Huggies Snug & Dry Diapers

Kellogg's "Fuel for School" Promotion

Kellogg's "Fuel for School" Promotion is currently going on. Here's how it works: you purchase 10 Kellogg's or Keebler products, and submit a rebate form to receive a $10 rebate check. Here is a list of the participating items:

any Kellogg's Cereal (10-oz or larger)
any Keebler or Austin Product (8-oz or larger)
any Sunshine Product (8-oz or larger)
any Eggo Product (4-ct or larger)
any Kellogg's Nutri-Grain Cereal Bar (8-ct or larger)
any Kellogg's Special K Cereal Bar (4 ct or larger)
any Kellogg's Pop-Tarts Toaster Pastries (8-ct or larger)
any Kellogg's Rice Krispies Treats Squares (8-ct or larger)
any Kellogg's Fruit Flavored Snacks (6-ct or larger)
any MorningStar Farms Veggie Foods (5-oz or larger)
any 100 Calorie Right Bites (6-ct or larger)

The deal gets a little bit tricky because of the rules. All products must be purchased in a single transaction on one store receipt. Also, you have to mail in an Official Mail-In Rebate Order Form (you can print this here), along with the original UPC symbols from all 10 items and the original dated cash register reciept dated between 8/2/09 and 9/30/09 with the qualifying products circled. Another thing, the request must be postmarked by 9/30/09 and received by 10/9/09.

You can see what I purchased (here) for this promotion. Also, don't forget to add your manufacturer's coupons to your transaction to make this an even better deal! There was a special "Fuel for School" coupon insert with lots of great coupons for this in the 8/2/09 Sunday paper.

A Chic Shopping Trip ~ Albertsons

I went to Albertson's yesterday and got a great deal! I used lots of the coupons that I mentioned about here. I paid $25.28 and I will be getting a rebate of $10.00 from the "Fuel for School" Promotion (read about this here) so really, after rebate, my total for all these items would be $15.28. Here's what I got:

- 4 Keebler Cookie packs
- 4 Kellogg's Rice Krispies boxes
- 2 Kellogg's Yogos Bits Fruit Snacks
- 17 Dannon Yogurt Cups
- 6 Danimals Yogurt Drink Packs (6 bottles in each)
- 2 boxes Blueberries (1 pint size)
- 2 Jimmy Dean Premium Bacon packs (not pictured)

I'd say that's a chic deal! Total Savings of $79.92
