I have to say my DH doesn't like me to go to the office store, Target, Costco, or any other store for that matter.

we don't have staples in houston. :mad:

is the sale valid online?
 
Carolyn if you hadn't already gone, I would have told you to use the office supply exchange at MnG as your excuse to go... but since you've already made it, nevermind. I think I may have to cut happy hour short tomorrow night and head to staples before I come home to get ready for my show on Tue (augh!!!!!) and for conference!

Yeah - that might have worked...but he helped me put together my MnG gift-bag last week...and I put in a lot of PC specific office supplies - woo hoo!! That and I have this ridiculous inability to be dishonest w/my husband. Maybe it is a "this is my 2nd marriage and I'll be damned if this one fails" attitude - I dunno. But I can't even tell him the tiniest fib without feeling guilty and blurting out the truth within 24 hours - LOL I'm a dork.

But I was able to go to Staples yesterday using the school supplies excuse and honestky - that's ALL I bought - school supplies for the kids, and they each were allowed to spend $2 on anything they wanted ... so it was more of a treat for tham than for me - LOL
 
I saw the folder deal in the add yesterday!! Guess where I'm going today???:p

I don't think so. I looked up the folders and I didn't see any for a penny, but when you look up the circular they are there. I'm on the phone with them right now to ask a question...I'll ask....they are checking for me...it is in-store only.
 
This is copy and pasted from a "deal" site that I go to:


Staples has select school supply items for 1-cent each until Wednesday, July 11. Other school supply items are available for 9-cents and up, until Saturday, July 14. These offers are available only in their stores, not online. Find a Staples store located near you. Thanks arachnid and dadumbyuh.
