Discount on GPS: Store vs. Online w/ Pampered Perks

[nikki70563]

My question is does the discount apply at the store or online only through pampered perks. Because I want to get a gps and on pp online it is $161.49 and on office depot direct website it is $169.00 but then you get a $50.00 mail-in-rebate. So if I go to office depot and buy it from the store would I still get a discount if so which amount do you think it would be?

Some things are discounted at the stores, but not everything. I doubt that you would get the discount on that item at the store.You should check online. There are a couple of places in New York City that are consistently $50-75 lower in price on electronic items than anyone else.

You need to order a discount card to have access to discounts, other than those printed on the Pampered Perks page - (which are AWESOME, if you haven't looked!)

If I remember right, we get something called "Contract Pricing" on various items. I don't think it's a flat discount rate for anything and everything in the store...kind of like what they do for copies, where instead of 2-sided black and white normally costing 14 cents or whatever, it is contract priced at (maybe) 7 cents a copy (this is JUST an example!). You would have to go to the store and present the item you're interested in and your card to see what the contract price would be (I know this works at Office Max...I think it might be similar at Office Depot, but haven't tried it yet!).

With Office Max, you have a contract card with a barcode they can scan. Office Cheapo has a record of your credit/debit card and the discount is calculated at the register. It might take a little more effort to find out what the discount is, if there is one.Seriously, though, do a google search for the item you want to buy, like google a megellan 4250. You'll see comparison prices from places like everyprice and pricegrabber. They'll show you various vendors like tiger direct, broadway photo, techron, freys, etc and who has the best deal. Places like Broadway Photo and the like are almost always waaaaaay lower priced than anyone.Granted, there's no support but trust me, you're not going to get much support from Office Max or Office Cheapo, either.

Office Depot now has a card for us - we don't have to register a credit/debit card. That's a recent change. You can order the discount card on CC, under Pampered Perks. But it is contract pricing - it varies by item.

Mea culpa - the nearest Office Cheapo to me is about 14 miles, so I've haven't even set foot in there in a long time and never really paid much attention to it.

Point taken...however...when I have Max 2-1/2 miles away from me, driving 14 miles just to go to Depot, at 3-1/2 bucks a gallon, is not attractive at all.

The only office supply store in my area is STAPLES

:chef:

Well, that's Easy.For some reason, that ad always reminds me of an old GF of mine.

We've finally hit the big time in this little area (well, little for me since I grew up in Chicago), we now have OfficeMax, Office Depot, and Staples! LOL I try to avoid those stores like the plague, as I always find way too much in there I want to buy.

Trying to resist! Trying to resist! Cannot resist!

Let's examine this. Does Staples and their saying remind you of her because she put out or did she pose for Playboy years ago and have 'staples' going through her midsection?

Yes, I went there!
