Thanks! Hubby doesn't have a "teacher's id" b/c he teaches at a college that doesn't use student/teacher id's (weird, huh?), but I have my homeschooler's id, so that might work!

Where did you get a homeschooling ID? I am HS'ing. (Sonlight).

Our stores in Ohio allow teachers to get 10 of each item and the managers are very understanding when we make multiple trips! Happy shopping!

I don't know their rules and want to be ethical, but hubby is a teacher, and we have a munchkin, plus with all my couponing and such I find we use a LOT of this kind of thing. Any hints from seasoned BTS'ers?

Staples usually has a different limit for teachers. Ask at your store and don't forget to use your husband's StaplesTeachers Reward card.

It seemed like the sale was for a day or two last year. Can anyone clarify this? Is the sale all week long, or just a day or two?
TIA

Sale usually starts when the doors open. I think Staples in my area opens between 8 and 9 am on Sundays.

Per customer - I usually bring my kids with me and they've had no problems with that. So if you have a boatload of kids, bring them along and give them pennies!!!

Thank goodness. I know I can use these for my kids as well as donate!!!

ETA: Does anyone have the link for the rebate? TIA

I'm sure this is a YMMV thing, but I've seen people say that every time you walk into a store you are a new customer. Of course, the lines are long, so if you want to wait again.........

Oh, another thing -- sometimes these cheap items are hard to find. It seems like you always have to ask where they are. They want to you not be able to find them so you will just buy something more expensive. Consider it a scavenger hunt.
