Just change your shipping address to a tax free state (its downloaded anyway, so it really makes no difference what your shipping address is). The 5 tax free states are
•Alaska
•Delaware
•Montana
•New Hampshire
•Oregon

Does anyone remember the directions for the cashier to put it in the register for the $15 off to work (when you are redeeming the coupon)? It seems like every year they never know how to do it and have to waste time calling a manager over, and I know in the old fatwallet forums I remember someone posted directions on how they have to put it in their computer.

According to ShopRite corporate, Shoprite gift cards are excluded ( even though they forgot to mention this in the ad).

They have never let you buy ShopRite gift cards in the past with this deal, so the assumption is that they are not allowed.

I’m not sure if you are referring to paying with visa gift cards or staples gift cards, but buying a gift card with a staples gift is generally not allowed. If you were able to do it, you got lucky that you a cashier that allowed it but that is very YMMV as 99% of the time they won’t.
