@mistercheap said in Staples paper ream 1 cent after coupon/rebate in store only:
Phew! Glad I hadn’t done this yet , sorry for the hassle @THEKING and others who wasted their time on this, a deal that in the past would have worked. Staples has really gone down hill where deals in general are concerned, even some of their sale prices are laughable. Hardly have good breakroom deals any longer too. Office Depot is by far the better store these days for deals and rewards.
I guess each person will have their own opinion, but to me,
I find the exact opposite - Staples is way superior to Office Depot as far as deals and rewards. It was Staples who had a 27" monitor last week for $130 and on Black Friday for $99 - I can’t recall OD ever having a 27" monitor at that price in the last year. It was Staples who had the TI-84 plus graphing calculator at $90 for 5 weeks last summer - OD never had it lower than $120. It was Staples that had the Norton Antivirus for 1 cent after rebate - when was the last time OD had an antivirus for that price? Staples has the $25 off $100 Visa Checkout deals every once in a while - when was the last time OD had that? And Staples gift cards can routinely be bought at PPDG with a 10% bonus. Very rarely do I find anything at OD at a decent price. And that doesn’t even talk about the majority of people here cant even find a local OD store anymore because most of them closed down. I don’t think there are any of them left in the whole NYC and in the whole state of New York there are 4 of them compared to 106 Staples stores; in New Jersey there are 4 OD stores compared to 70 Staples stores. As I said, maybe you happen to live near one of the few remaining OD’s, but for the majority of people they are few and far between.
