Staples 8/15/10

Could this picture be more blurry! WOW.... well hopefully you can see what this is. :)I had a $6 reward check for turning in 2 ink cartridges last month. I know that I wanted to get the 1 subject notebooks for 1cent (limit 6) min $5 purchase to get the notebooks.

Transaction #1
1 Staples ream of paper $4.99
1 folder $.15 (Total is over $5 so now I can get the notebooks. :)
6 - 1 subject notebooks $.01 ea
Total was $5.20
used my $6 Rewards check and on my reciept I got the $.80 balance for my next transaction which
was a second later. :)

Transaction #2
1 Staples ream of paper $4.99
1 folder $.15 (Total is over $5 so now I can get the notebooks. :)
6 - 1 subject notebooks $.01 ea
Total $5.20 - $.80 credit from the balance of the $6 check
I paid OOP $4.76 tax included.

Oh did I mention that the 2 reams of paper had a EASY REBATE attached to them. :) I filled out the info and I will be getting 2 rebate checks for $4.98 each. That makes this shopping trip a $5.20 moneymaker.
Too bad it will take 4 weeks to get that money. So I will be taking this total and deducting it from my monthly goal.
