Staples Ad: 02/10-02/16: $0.99 2-Pack Kleenex® standard facial tissue, 2/pack, $1Staples® #10 envelopes, Pull & Seal, $50 Off Chair cpn and more

I got my two boxes of paper today and my rebate still shows "validation in process."

I'll let you guys know if Daniel/math doesn't get confirmation before me.

There appear to be different coupon codes for the Kleenex. Most of my emails got the 73790 code but one of my emails has code 63628. Interestingly enough, my receipt says 77884 even though I'm pretty sure I printed it off a 73790 email. Try this 63628 coupon if you plan on going back for more.

Also uploading my receipt to confirm that the 10/75 and OS q's are still stackable if there are other items in the transaction. I added the $20 2-pack Sodastream bottles and Kleenex, and used 2x paper, 10/75, OS, and the Kleenex q's. The OS q attached to the Sodastream bottles and the 10/75 pro-rated across all items including the paper. After rebate and 10% Rewards, everything should be close to free.

On my commute home, I realized that if adding other items and stacking coupons, it would be better to pay with Rewards if you are in a high tax state (like me). Figure these are the possible scenarios:

1. Only buy paper and pay $50 + tax. Rebate covers the $50 and 10% back covers the tax (and then some). Alternatively, as EW is planning, pay with Rewards and get $50 rebate, with no tax or 10%.

2. Buy paper with $20 filler, stack another $20 of coupons, and pay $50 + tax. Rebate covers the $50, but this time you likely only get back 10% on $36 (50 paper / 70 total x 20 coupons = 14 reduction in Reward-able paper purchase) which wouldn't cover tax in states with rates higher than 7% (36 x 10% roughly breaks even with 50 x 7%).

3. Same as #2, but pay $50 with Rewards = no tax. Result is similar to #1. Get back $50 rebate. No 10% Rewards, but also no OOP.

Is it absolutely necessary to have $20 worth of items if one plans to use the OS $10/$50 and $10/$75 coupons as well? Aren't the coupons only looking for an undiscounted item to attach to? Would the addition of just a pen allow both coupons to go through?

Also, what coupon order did you use? TIA.

Thanks a lot Rubadub for the detailed post
Was under the impression that will not go to staples after seeing this weeks ad, last thursday, but staples seems to be part of our daily/weekly schedule. Need to be there

Yeah, the paper q + rebate combo ended up becoming a pretty good (and interesting) deal opportunity. Plan to do it again so I can stock up on K-cups and Sodastream mix. Maybe also try the same deal on the Hammermill paper.

I think you need to have at least one item that is $10 because the OS q will stick to an item. This is what happened on my Sodastream bottles, and this is how tremmor wasted one of these q's a few months ago. He only added a $2 item and only received an additional $2 discount. So theoretically, you can probably go with either a $10 + $1 item, or an $11 item. The paper q's would stick to the paper, the OS q would stick to the $10 item, and the 10/75 would prorate. (ETA: probably don't need the $1 item. Point I was trying to make is that you might want to keep it above $10, whether it's 10 + 1 or 11, in case the other q's prevent the 10/75 from being applied)

Guess I need to find the Hammermill paper thread. It is basically the same deal with 2 cases of paper and the printable coupon?

I believe you are correct about needing an additional $11 at least above the case paper. $11/$110 = 10%. 10% of -$10 = -$1. That plus the -$10 from the OS makes that additional product $0.00. Not sure if the $10/$75 would take in that case so >$11.00 seems to be a safer option.

Is there reabte limit on these paper cases? HM and Staples MP? or can we only do 2 each per address?

TIA

Appears to be 2/week. See this post: http://slickdeals.net/forums/show...stcount=20 Personally, I want to do the kiosk trick with the rebate and case coupons and monetize rewards and get two full cases for nada.
