Why would you buy an incandescent flashlight these days?

You could read the 2,000+ 5-star reviews, over 50 in the past three months.
It would be more helpful to share which type(s) you recommend and why, including price points/size. I have one and love it.

Some examples from the local Home Depot today. Much brighter and longer lasting and the incandescent Maglight:

Uh, yeah “free”…
Here’s some free information for everyone:

If you spend > $75 on ink this week you’ll earn 25% back in Rewards instead of the usual 5%.
Unlike the online offers this one B&M only includes HP.
Recently all the online ink deals have excluded HP.

I hound ink is more expensive in store than it is online, about 25% more expensive in some cases. At least that was the case when I bought my Brother toner cartridge, so the 25% you get in Rewards will be about the everyday online price with no rewards to have to liquidate.

Do you guys buy ink to resell? I have no use for staples ink, but need to buy $30+ every 6 months. If you do resell, which ones do you buy?

I usually buy HP, and it’s whichever cartridge is not on special sale, and is the least amount over the $30 threshold. I’ll then list it up on eBay for maybe $20, and if it doesn’t sell, then I get $2 back for in on the next recycling cycle the next month.

Wow, I was actually able to checkout this time. Thanks OP!

Is this even a thing anymore? You can rip DVD’s using Handbrake now for free.

So what do you do on the other 4 days of the year?

Note that these are their 3Ah batteries, not their highest capacity 4Ah batteries.

@noahbody said in Target.com or in store: 10% Off Target Gift Cards *Sunday 12/2 Only*:

Is it possible to use the Target 10% gift card to purchase an online T-Mobile refill card?

update: I found this so I guess not:
“Target GiftCards are solely for use at Target stores and on Target.com. Target GiftCards cannot be used to purchase any prepaid or specialty gift cards.”

I have not had any issues buying T-mobile refill cards in-store with the giftcards. It’s pretty much the only reason I get the giftcards each year.

Thanks OP, picked up a couple today.

Well you don’t really have to shop with the app. Here’s a tip. Go into eBay using your regular computer browser. Find stuff you want to buy, and add them to your cart. Then go onto your phone, install the app, and login. The stuff will still be in your cart. Check out using the app, and then uninstall the app. Voila, 13%.

@fivetalents
Was not allowing me to checkout for some reason.

Where are you getting stuck, and what exactly happens/is there an error message? I can see the offer in ny cart in Chrome (PC). When I click the blue “buy now” button, I get the PayPal login screen.

Maybe try closing and restarting your browser, clearing cookies, restarting your device, using a different browser, or using a different device,

I get logged in to Paypal, and I see it trying to build the shipto/Pay now screen, but then it flips me to this screen:

@turtlebug said in Free Glock Promo Pack:

Tried twice and get error message citing “technical difficulty” and form does not process.

Yup, same here.

If you’re going to buy these masks, just buy a reusable, washable cloth mask (they’d work just as well.) Also, buy from a US shop making the masks, they need the work to keep their employees working.

Hmmm. Pack of 2 washing machine balls for $65.99 with a rebate of $65.99. How big are these balls?!?!

Grabbed both! Thanks for the reminder!

From the Staples thread:
“When I received my second dose I was told “don’t laminate it!” because they won’t be able to write on it if/when we receive booster shots. They said to instead make a photocopy or scan both sides, place back to back, and laminate that. Then carry that with you and keep the original in a safe place.”

Showing as $149.99 for me.

You can also get them as a single pack for $0.69.

Great for when you need a filler item. (Haven’t found anything cheaper than this – I really miss the $0.25 tape dispenser cores they use to have.)

Somehow they never seem to plan for these things…

Now Sold Out

I can provide a non-simulated environment if anyone wants to try it for real. (And then come by every other week to try it again.)

@sonofzeus Thanks OP! Just ordered up a tank exchange. The regular price does seem a bit high (I think I get a 15lb fill for around $15 at my local Costco), but can’t beat the promo $10 price (and they take expired tanks.)

UPDATE: Just got it delivered yesterday. Tank mfg date is 2022.

Received email just now:

The wait is almost over. Our new loyalty program is launching soon and we can’t wait to share it with you.

Changes to your rewards account:

The Rewards number above will be your account number when the new program launches. Any other accounts connected with this account will be removed and will become their own individual accounts. All accounts will be able to start earning and redeeming right away.

Thanks again for being a loyal Staples Rewards® member.

Guess we’ll see what this means in a few days…
