STAPLES: Cheap School Supplies (certain regions only) 7/15-21

Yeah it's not in my store ad... hence my "(email only?)" wonder if they will price match their own ads? I know Walmart won't price match their online prices...Hrm.

I want cheap paper and glue sticks!

Ok, so looking at the e-mail again, I checked the limits and noticed it says valid in-store only....

So WHY are they sending me the friggin e-mail if it won't be in my store? GRRRRRRRRRRRR

Updated OP to show limits on each item.

I got the email too, central jersey, and clicked the ad in the email and it didnt list the cheapo items, but said in store ONLY. So I went to the store this morning, no one knew a thing about it. The manager said if I print the email, he will honor it. I went right next door to kmart for the free printing, went right back to staples and got my items!! If your store isnt advertising it, print out the email and bring it with you. It says nothing about certain markets and specifically says IN STORE ONLY. Can't argue with that!! Good luck!! Hope it helps someone!

How do we know which stores are participating? I went online, put in my zip and it brought me to the ad with the deals in it. I go to the store today and they know nothing about it. And the things on sale are not ringing up on sale. Should I print out the ad and take it in? Or have them go online there in the store, they have that little computer to order things on, and have them look at it?

Well NM my last post. Apparently the online ad has now changed to not having the deals. :(

I would print out the ad and take it in....if you can still get it!!

We went this morning after seeing it online for our area...but no flier in the sunday paper. Nothing was marked and when we asked they said a few other people were asking about the same deals. They PMed 30 packs of paper for us...they said they couldn't find it on-line at the store but whenever I tried to show the lady where to click she went and looked somewhere else. The manager seemed annoyed that people were PMing and by the time we came home to print the ad to do more PM at staples and other places....the ad for our area is completely removed!! The whole thing..not just those deals. :frown:

It says to come back on 8/22 to see the next ad!!! :mad6:

I went to my store, no one knew a thing. MGR told me to print out the email and he would PM it. I went next door to kmart, printed it, and went right back in. I got the max amounts stated on the email. He was shocked it said IN STORE ONLY and they had no info passed down to them about it. But when I clicked on the ad, it didnt show those deals anymore, so I just printed what showed up in my box. He was fine with that. I would like to get more, but do not want to push it. Maybe later in the week. Be sure to have yours printed when you go. I do need to go back and get those pens too.

This was what happened to me at my local Staples!!!! Thanks to my brain for the minute that I thought to print out the ad!!!

Just wanted to save some others from the aggravation I encountered today!

I went there today to pick them up - specifically glue sticks and filler paper. When I pulled up the ad I typed in Staples.com then went to weekly circular and then put in my zip code. It pulled up back to school savings that did not show in my weekly paper insert which I thought was odd but I went and sure enough signage in stores showed much differnent pricing. Not to mention it was too slow to have those good deals. I was 1 of 2 people looking around the store for them. THANK GOD I printed out the deals and was able to show them what I was talking about. They said that my computer was routing me to another website showing me fraudelent ads for staples. Even after argueing back with me when I told them I had looked this up on their website from 3 different locations - home, work, and a 3rd computer and all 3 times got the same ad online so the problem must be internal, not my system. After debating exactly where the problem lie I finally said "are you going to honor the price or not???" They said they would do it this 1 time but I have to make sure that the information I am using is actually from them and not some other website. They said to make sure my browser specifically only says Staples.com and nothing else.

Well, I got my Staples stuff this week, but I was aggravated that it took me two trips. I got the email and went into the store, but nothing was on sale. I asked the manager and he told me that that ad was supposed to go out two weeks from now, but if I printed off my email and brought it in he would honor the deals. At least he was nice about it...I bet the person who screwed that one up is in big trouble.
