@briarycliffs I agree about Kobalt tools, for the most part. They include a few gimmicky multi-purpose tools too, but not as many as Craftsman does (think “Extreme”, “Mach” and so on). Clunky and awkward, “solutions” in search of a problem…

@mistercheap Sigh, thanks for info. Just today Office Depot emailed me a 15% off coupon, so I ordered using that.
Hoping I can use that $40 gift card towards the lion’s share of a 100-roll of USPS stamps…

@scorpioneyes said in Case (10 reams) Boise X-9 Multipurpose Letter Size Paper + $9.99 or less after $40 Office Depot GC Rebate + Free S&H:

Is this deal still happening? I do see the $40 mail-in-rebate but I don’t see any additional $40 gift card. Am I missing something?

I’m thinking the $40 rebate is in the form of a $40 Office Depot gift card, in other words rebate=gift card. If it was an additional gift card, every deal vulture in the country would be on top of this!

I’m contemplating this one myself, but would prefer one of the regular Staples paper/rebate deals, where the rebate is either a check or a pre-paid Visa card. Anyone know if Staples has such a paper deal this coming weekend?

@my4mainecoons I already took advantage of the $25 back on $50 with two pairs of shoes, the surprisingly nice Fila Headway 7 trail running sneakers in gray/yellow and gray/red, along with a $5 workout shirt. I used some Freecash that Sears gave me to bring my out-of-pocket down to $50.10, and sure enough got my $25 SYWR points the next day. Thinking about getting yet another pair of the gray/yellow Filas shipped to me for free ($26.10 using my points). I suspect Sears will be long gone before all my new shoes are worn out!

Btw I’m not biting on any of those Marketplace deals, even though I’m sorta tempted on some ~$50 Overstock rug runners. I imagine too many issues on getting SYWR points back.

@597404 Thanks - picked one up, but only after asking them to check back in the stockroom. The Staples app on my phone (and Brickseek) both said there were 11 in the store.

@ukedog (replying to myself) Irwin framing hammer no longer available on lowes.com

Irwin Milled Face California Framing Claw Hammer, 21 oz, Reg. $19.98, as low as $5.99 (YMMV)
Lowes Item # 753520 / Irwin Model # 1954890
Was checking out other closeout Vaughan framing hammers with steel handles when I came across this one… this one felt much nicer, and was cheaper to boot.

@myisland I’ve found you can counteract that feeling by simply ordering “Smart Sense” (Kmart house brand) tissues to be sent to you, especially when you get 100% SYWR points back, plus free shipping. Decadent, yes; but bourgeoisie, no.
