It's raining free/cheap school supplies this week!

I've not had the opportunity to hit the stores yet but I'm planning a quick run this evening and tomorrow morning. Here are the week's deals...

STAPLES

• Free Backpack: basically you get 100% back in staples rewards, if you are a Staples Rewards member. If you do not have a Staples rewards card, sign up for free here. (This is a great rewards scheme if you spend about 100$ on paper/ink/toner/Staples copy and print services every quarter. At the end of each quarter you will receive 10$ back in Staples rewards. If your balance is less than 10$ in a quarter, whatever you accumulate will expire. )- 1 per mailing address
