Staples: Penny Sales?

BudgetQueen · 07-08-2009, 01:12:11 AM

Does anyone know if Staples is doing the penny sales this year? If so, do you have a line on when those will start? I don't remember how far into summer we were last year when the chaos began.

Thanks!

Rumor has it that they begin on Sunday. Can't find any specific details though.

Check out the Back to School thread in my signature for updated information on back to school sales.

What is a penny sale?

^Yeah I forgot what they are too. Is the stuff LITERALLY a penny or is it like buy x amount and get x amount for a penny?

In the past, Staples, Office Depot & Office Max have run school supply sales. Each week they usually have one item that is on sale for $0.01. In the past $0.01 items have included: 10ct pencils, slider school boxes, rulers, white glue, folders (w/ & w/out prongs), mini .5oz Purrell, and more.

Sometimes they have sales for $0.05 (cap erasers, spiral notebooks) items and some $0.25 items (binders, filler paper, etc.).

Like I said above, check out the Back to School 2009 thread in my signature. You'll be able to see this years sales and look back at 2008 sales.
