What a Week to Go to Staples! Free Software AND You Get a $25 Dining Card!!!

One time earlier I wrote in a post about how I got back more in rebates than I paid for software at Staples. Spent $165 but because of a mid-week $30 bonus coupon I got back $180 total... deals like that look like great bonuses when you find them.

Well, this week's Staples circular has your chance to do something similar. This is a link to an on-line version of the circular for my store. You can find your own store at http://www.staples.com/ and stop by for a copy of the circular. Or maybe it came with your Sunday paper...

Staples is offering Peachtree Pro Accounting Software free after rebate. It starts at $169.99, and they take off $30 in the store so you pay $139.99 -- then you get to send in rebates which total $140, so you get that software for free. Yes, software that starts at $169.99 for FREE! (except sales tax)

But it doesn't end there... the front of their circular has a coupon for a $25 dining card free with any purchase of $75 or more, valid for in-store purchases, valid until July 28th. And since you are spending $139.99 for Peachtree prior to the rebate, this would qualify (there are no conditions on the coupon that exclude rebate-related items). So you get the card, the software and your money back... a wonderful final deal!

There is another item in the same circular free-after-rebate, a ten-pack of Zebra Cadoozles mechanical pencils, $3.29 with a $3.29 easy rebate. The easy rebates are great because you just enter your contact information and the transaction bar code number from your receipt -- you don't have to mail in UPCs etc. Staples has always been one of the most reliable vendors for rebate dealings with which I've dealt.

There are also some school supply items like 2-pocket paper folders for a penny, 12-pack of pencil eraser caps for 5 cents, a protractor or a ruler for 5 cents...

Similar to the dining coupon, the mechanical pencils and school supplies are valid for in-store purchases only. So stop in, pick up a circular, combine the deals and get back a free $25 dining card on top of all your money rebated back!!! Woo-hoo!!!
