100pk of black and blue AmazonBasics stick pens for $5.50

If you go through pens, or want to help a local school or non-profit or church or any other places that has a front desk or place that require analog form filling, there is a pretty good bang for the buck on AmazonBasics branded pens (yes, Amazon is expanding their budget house brand to all kinds of different products). This 100-pack of ballpoint stick pens is currently on sale for $5.49. The box is a mix of black and blue ink pens. You can see how much ink is left in them.

These are part of the Add-ON program, so you must place a $25+ order if you want to buy them regardless. You can get to that with five 100-packs or any other combination of products that are sold or fulfilled by Amazon actual.

Office Depot Duracell Rewards post in Accounts just in time for Big Clearance Sale

If you are participating in the Office Depot and Max Rewards program, we have double good news for you! If you had participated in the most recent Duracell Batteries rewards promotion (it was running between August 28 through September 3 in 2016), those Rewards points just posted to your Office Depot Rewards account. They don’t send email alerts, you have to check the account. Here’s a screenshot of mine (with the certificate number cut-out for obvious reasons):

As you can guess from the total, I maxed out on the offer, I got the “limit 2” of Duracell 16-packs of AA or AAA.

The timing is perfect because both the Office Depot/Max stores along with their website are running a big clearance sale, which includes these super-practical and super-repurposable Supplies Clear Boxes. These are stackable (within their own kind) and if you don’t need the supplies, you can donate them to a school and keep the boxes 🙂 The prices are slightly different between store and website, the store has them all for $1, while the website ranges from 75c to $1.50.

Office Supply Doorbusters Begin Sunday 7/10/16

Just like clockwork, the first weekend after the 4th of July holiday is the unofficial start of the Back to School blockbuster sales! Staples is bringing back their “Less List” that has a certain group of items with fixed sale prices that run throughout the back to school season. They’ll also have a trio of items at 25c each with a limit of five per customer for next week.

Meanwhile Office Depot-Max is bringing back the penny items, as long as your order total is $5 or more. In addition to the penny items, they have a nice of 25c items (24pk Crayola crayons, 5pk BIC highlighters, Sharpie singles). They also have a variety of Rewards specials on paper, but pay attention to the terms of each offer as some of them are “Bonus Rewards” and other “Regular Rewards” which are paid only in multiples of $10. *SIGH* Where are the State Attorney Generals to grab them by the ear for this nonsense?

You can see all the offers by going to the Weekly Ad pages of their respective websites.

June 5-11 Office Depot Rewards on Duracell and Pentel

The combined Office Depot and Office Max rewards program is sadly much closer to what Office Depot used to have and not what Office Max had. So no more rolling of rewards. But if it still works for you, for the week of June 5-11 in 2016, at Office Max and Depot brick and mortar stores, the Duracell battery promotion is back!

Back to School Penny Sales start July 5 at OfficeMax and Depot

Yes, the poor students barely got out of school, but that doesn’t stop the Office Supplies Industrial Complex. The Back to School Price Wars officially begin on Sunday July 5 at Office Max and Depot stores in the USA. Their front page of their Weekly Ad (July 5-11, 2015) is loaded with 1c items. You have to make a $5 minimum purchase, which shouldn’t be hard between the sales and the clearance items. If nothing else, pick up a gift card 🙂

The 1c items include sharpeners, erasers, and pencil pouches. The offers are limit three per item, so not bad. At the 25c price level, there’s glue, rulers, and broad tip markers. And at the $1 price point, there’s Sharpies five packs (yum yum!) and Papermate mechanical pencil sets and mini staplers.
