FREE batteries and cheap paper at Staples 3/27 - 4/2

This week Staples is giving 100% back in rewards when you buy a pack of 20 AA or AAA Duracell batteries for $12.99.  That means you pay $12.99 but you will get $12.99 back in rewards to spend at a later date at Staples.  This offer is limited to two per household.  You do need a rewards card (like a membership card) and you can sign up for the card for free in the store.

Staples also has reams of Hammermill 8.5" x 11" printer paper for $1 after rebate.  They are $5.99 and you will get back $4.99 as a rebate.  This offer also has a limit of two per household.  This is slightly different as you will get this back as a rebate, like a check or a Visa gift card instead of rewards but you will still need a rewards card to get the rebate.  You will also need to submit this rebate online or in the mail.  The instructions for submitting the rebate will print with your receipt.

If you already have Staples rewards to spend, do not use them to buy the batteries because you will not get all of your rewards back.  You can, however, use your rewards on the paper and get the full rebate.
