Back To School Bargains

Posted by Erin (and sometimes The Todd) on Jul 25, 2011 in Unfiled Stuff |

UPDATED: new bargains for the upcoming week.  Sneakiest Inside Tip EVER: please tell me you’re shopping through Ebates?  You’ll get cash back on every one of these purchase (aside from Amazon) above and beyond your savings.  Click here: you’ll get a $5.00 gift card just for signing up.  I’ve gotten over $300.00 in cash back from Ebates since I started 14 months ago.  Office Max is 3% back.

 

Target piled up a huge chunk of  back-to-school coupons on their site. Click on “coupons” at the bottom of the page to find them all.  Sneaky inside tip: if you’re set on a particular place, most office-supply stores have similar printable coupons and offers on their web pages as well.

Staples is presenting a $10.00 savings pass: this gives you 15% off back-to-school supplies through Sept. 17.  There’s also a printable $5.00 coupon here.  For more information about the card and weekly specials, go to Staples.com and click on “back to school.”

Amazon.com is offering college students a free one-year subscription to its Amazon Prime service — a $79.00 value — which provides free, unlimited two-day shipping on textbooks and millions of other items.  Amazon also lures you with heavily discounted textbooks — some as much as 80 percent to 90 percent off.  Get more info by going to www.amazon.com/student.
