Saved 66% with Staples Steals!

I used to be addicted to getting deals at drug stores, but now I LOVE the deals I am seeing at office supply stores, like Staples!  With all the back to school sales, I challenge myself each week to see what I can get super cheap and either use or donate.

So here's my list of stuff (regular price in parenthesis):

• (10) 2-pocket folders ($.25) at $.01 each = $.10
• (2) 12/packs of Staples pink cap erasers ($1.29) at $.10 each = $.20
• (2) 2/pack Sharpie permanent markers, fine, black ($1.99) at $.25 each = $.50
• (2) Staples paper clips, jumbo, 50/box ($1.99) at $.50 each = $1.00
• Zebra Z-Grip retractable ballpoint pens, medium, black, 7/pack = $4.00 (Zebra pens has $4 easy rebate, so it will end up being FREE)
• Staples 8.5" x 11" multipurpose paper, 500 sheets/ream = $5.99 (Staples multipurpose paper has $5.49 easy rebate, so it will end being $.50)
• Sketch Estimate book = $10.79 (Not a great price, but Al needed it and it helped me get to the $25 mark)
• Charmin Basic, 16/pack = $4.99

Subtotal = $27.57

Coupons used:
-$5 off $25 or more purchase, on the front of the weekly sales flyer

Total out of pocket = $22.57

After $4.00 and $5.49 easy rebates, it all cost me $13.08 (for a regular price value of $38.81)!  Saved 66%!
