Staples has a new rewards card called the Back to School Savings Pass. You can purchase this card for $10 and you will save 15% off of all of your school supplies through September 21, 2013. This 15% discount is in addition to the sale prices, which can make for some incredible deals.
You will need to determine if this investment will pay for itself for you. If you normally do a lot of your back to school shopping, then you might want to look into purchasing a card. If you plan on spending more than $70 at Staples, then this card will end up paying for itself. The reason is that since you pay $10 to purchase the card, you need to save at least that amount on your purchases. If you spend $70, then your additional 15% discount will save you $10.50, which means that the card officially starts helping you save more.
This actually could be a GREAT gift for a teacher! You could buy him or her a Back to School Savings Pass as a thank you so that when back to school shopping starts, he/she can instantly save an additional 15% off of all purchases.
