Weekly Back to School Deals - August 17, 2014

Back to school sales already? That's right, it might only be July but office supply stores are beginning their weekly sales. Below are the best sales for August 17, 2014. Remember that these sales are not just for students. Some of these office supplies are needed often around the house or office. Each store has additional sales for the week however I have only posted those deals which I thought were worth purchasing. Check your Sunday fliers for additional sales.

• Papermate Profile ballpoint pens, 4/pack - Free (after rebate)
• Hammermill ream of paper - Free (after coupon and rebate)

Staples currently has a coupon for 20% off everything you can fit in a bag. The bag is free (with the coupon) but it expires today, August 17, 2014.

Staples is offering a 110% price match guarantee:

*If you find a lower price on a new, identical item, just show us the lower price when you buy the item at Staples, we will match the price plus will discount it by 10% of the difference. If you purchase an item from Staples and tell us within 14 days that you found that item at a lower price in our stores or at Staples.com, we will refund the difference. Staples Price Match Policy covers items: sold and shipped directly by Amazon.com; and sold by any retailer who sells products in both retail stores and online under the same brand.

While both stores still exist, Office Depot and Office Max now the same company. This year, it seems that they are also sharing their back to school sale prices.

• Composition Books - $0.10
• Sharpie Singles - $0.25
• OfficeMax and Scholastic glue sticks, 4/pack - $0.25

Both Office Depot and Office Max have coupons on their websites for $5 off $25 and $10 off $50. I'm not sure if they can be used at the opposite store so make sure you print the correct locations. Both coupons expire on August 23, 2014.

Any deal that states "after rewards" means that you must be enrolled in the store's free reward program. You will have to pay full price for the item however they will send you a reward check which works like a gift certificate towards a future purchase.

Any deal that states "after rebate" means that you must complete a rebate form with by paper or on the internet and submit the information. Rebates can be returned to you as checks, pre-paid credit cards, and even Paypal deposits. Read the rebate offers for more details.
