This brings back memories how 10-15 years ago Staples frequently gave back 100% in rewards on Duracell batteries. I got more than I could use and put them in a box thinking I'm covered for years because most of the batteries had dates 5-10 years in the future. I used a few packages. Unfortunately well before the date printed on each sealed package, every package of Duracells leaked. I lost a couple dozen packages of unused batteries. I considered seeing if I could get replacements from Duracell even though I only paid tax for them. Instead I decided to take it as a lesson never to buy another Duracell battery. Later I bought some Kirkland batteries and they leaked. Then I found out they were Duracell so no more Kirklands either. By contrast I've had very few Energizers leak. Guess which brand I buy now?
So unless you use your Duracell batteries very quickly, I wouldn't bother.

All of the Staples stores around me having closed and gone out of business really kills it.

I feel dumb. How does tax kill it? Still seems like a good deal to me.

Had the same issue. If you contact Duracell with the information of the battery pack, they will send you a coupon for an equivalent value eg 16 AAs

stop with the thread crapping, if you were a real deal hunter you'd know Staples price matches other retailers, so there's no reason to over pay.
I appreciated your reminder (your post directly prior to the one above), but your behavior thereafter made me rethink adding any reps. I have been economizing forever and been with SD almost as long and probably knew somewhere in the back of my mind that Staples price-matches, but didn't recall that until your reminder (for which I was, as mentioned) appreciative).

Your comment thereafter (quoted above), however, is misplaced. Some of us simply forgot, some know that store policies change all the time - which this one may have, some are simply too new (to either Staples or SD) to know (and thus their concern about Staples being overpriced is entirely legitimate - because they certainly are).

Its entirely possible that you simply don't give a rats ass and if that's the case I'll be sorry I've wasted my time and yours. That said, one never knows what fruit a few words might bring, so on the off chance that putting a bug in your ear might help, here it is.

Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year to You and Yours.

My original reply was to this comment: Quote from Lilyly :
what are you going to use their rewards on their overpriced items?


Now, to your point, this doesn't sound like someone who simply forgot, or is 'new' but has a set opinion that Staples is overpriced and for that reason, why get these batteries.

Again, my reply was specific to THIS POSTER, not you or anyone else, so I'm somewhat at a loss why you're taking it personally when it was never directed at you.

as for overpriced, many stores are overpriced, but as we know on SD, there's much more to a shelf price than meets the eye when there is price matching, various discount codes readily available, etc.

like what items? be specific. i spent hrs instore and walked out empty handed.
Ya gotta be a little bit methodical about this - wandering the store won't hack it, but some planning will.

Example"
Staples often has Energizer Lithiums in store that tend to run $2 - $3 each every where else.

Here is the listing for Staples' offering
https://www.staples.com/energizer...t_24552715

So if you could find these in the store (which you probably won't) you woild price match the Office Depot offer of $50 for 24 of them

https://www.officedepot.com/a/pro...=sag&gQT=1

You wait about 10 minutes until your rewards show up in the app and then walk back in to do it again but this time with all rewards, no further cash outlay (except tax), and now you've just gotten 48 Energizer Lithium batteries for $50.

You could really slam them even more on the buy side if you have spend a $10 off $30 coupon to spend along with your rewards points (maybe, not sure, but why not do it if you're there anyway).

I'm not saying that you need 48 Engergizer Lithium batteries or would actually find these in the store, but this is the kind of thinking that you can use to squeeze a pretty fair deal out of a store that does tend to overcharge more than most.

I know this because it's what I did back in October when Energizers in specific were offered this way

https://slickdeals.net/f/17845977-at-staples-in-store-on-all-batteries-100-back-in-rewards-starts-from-10-27-11-2

and they had all kinds of 4-packs and 8 packs available in the store, which I picked up for about the same price (about $1 each for Lithiums) using the same price-match-and-rebuy-a-second-time-with-points method..

I hope this helps, and
I wish you and yours well this holiday season.

the 10off30 coupon printed with expire date of 12/31/2024, but the `Exp Date` printed under `Coupon Summary` when used is 01/04/2025.

So my question is, will store scan it after 12/31/2024, or ymmv stuff?

I probably didn't max this out to its maximum potential, but I needed new 9V batteries for our CO and Smoke detectors and had $50 in Staples gift cards, so why not churn them into rewards and get some free batteries I actually needed.

best use of this deal is to price match with amazon for the same product as I did (or use a coupon) and then get 100 % of that rewards back which appears instantaneously in rewards in your staples app

NOTE: In the new Easy Rewards program, points are worth 1/2 cent NOT THE 1 CENT PER POINT in the previous program. Thus the batteries ARE NO LONGER FREE. Even with 50% off the batteries are still overpriced!!!

Partially correct, the new rewards are indeed worth 1/2 cent, however you get 200 points for each $ spent on batteries (200 x 0.005 = $1) plus you get an additional point for each $ spent. I purchased $49 in batteries and was awarded 9800 bonus points for the batteries plus 49 points = 9849 points = $49.25 in point value.

Note, if you your battery purchase included $20 worth of Energizer, you can get an additional $5 back here: http://www.EnergizerHoliday5.com
