Staples back to school freebies

Starting Sunday, Staples has some freebie back to school items. At the store near me the offer includes a free 8-pack of No. 2 pencils and a free 12 inch plastic ruler. This particular deal is valid Sunday, August 17 through Saturday, August 23.

The offer for the week ending Saturday, August 16 includes a free four ounce bottle of Elmer's glue.

To find if the Staples near you has this deal (or other freebies), go to the Staples Web site, then click "Weekly Ad" to see the current week's deals. Enter your zip code and click on "Sneak Peek" for upcoming deals.

My local Staples also has plastic binders are a quarter, plastic report covers are 20 cents each and assorted pencil boxes are 50 cents each.

I'm told the stores are collecting school supplies for needy kids in a bin as part of the Do Something movement. Just something to keep in mind. Find a Staples near you. Thanks, Karin!
