It is no secret that I love Staples although we have had some rough patches over the past couple of years when they took away free shipping for any purchase and kept revamping their ink recycling program. Well, I am back on board! With the new Staples rewards program, you can bring in up to three ink cartridges per day (HP, Dell, or Lexmark) and you will earn $3 each in rewards. Once a quarter (I think) they will give you a rewards coupon. My coupon was for $27 this time!I needed a memory card for my camera, so I went ahead and purchased that. I also hit up the clearance. They had a table up front with clearance where I snagged a $3 National Geographic puzzle (for the gift closet) and two .40 car folders for my nephews. My Staples also has a clearance section near the back of the store. I went to check that out and found a large expanding file that was originally $9 marked down to fifty cents! I have found similar deals at Office Depot, so make sure you check out that office supply store clearance.

Nice Article, But truly another way to save on office supplies is to seek out what your looking for and buy that item from a manufacture direct. This will save you big since you will not going have to then pay a retailers markup.
Case in point-I was shopping for file folders and came across a company named AmericanFolder.Com They are an great source since unlike other that sell everything else AmericanFolder.Com just sell folders and the prices I found were very low, plus no matter the size of the order they will ship it for free.
So Yes I agree that a superstore can save you time, but the money savings is seeking out manufactures that sell their items direct.
You inspired me to go to Staples. I found bright binders for 60 cents, cute pencil grips, and other things I can use for prizes at work. Thanks!

I can't believe the first comment trying to promote American Folder Company acting like they were shopping there when clearly there ID is the Company's!
LOL, I know, but I found it so funny that I didn't delete it. ;)
