Staples In-Store Deals: 16-count Duracell Coppertop Alkaline Batteries (AA or AAA) Free after 100% Back in Rewards, 8-pack Staedtler Maxum Bold Ballpoint Pens Free after $6 rebate

I picked up 4x photo paper but they had to open a box from the backroom. So I got 2 from the shelf and 2 from the backroom. The 2 from the backroom had a different barcode and scanned at $2 each. Yes, all 4 were the same photo paper. Rebate form that printed confirms that I'm only eligible for rebate on two.

Not sure if I should be happy about the price being $2, or sad about missing the rebate. At least they let me use the 25 off 75 coupon posted ITT.

You did this?

nice thinking, i needed to meet spend requirements on a CC ,so this deal couldnt have come at a better time, i just put all 10 on the card! Hopefully i can dispense them

I did that, but I did in 2 stores, 5 each... the money in your new card is available immediately for use. The cashier needs to know how to split total in 2 different cards, i.e., charge $100 even first on gift card...

Sure it's only $160 OOP but why wouldn't you purchase the MCs with one of your CCs that gets CB or another reward for shopping at an office supply store? Unless I'm mistaken, you can convert the MCs to cash through AP

That is true. You can convert. I would rather not to carry too many cards....
