Even if you don’t work at home, you still need office supplies, paper, and all the other necessities that Staples carries.

Recycle ink cartridges – For each one Staples gives you $2. As anyone with an ink jet printer knows, this will add up very quickly. Last year the Frugal Diva collected $34 to spend at Staples.

Coupons – Keep track of your supplies and wait until you get a coupon with a discount for the amount purchased. Organization is the key to saving time and money.

Household items – Staples now carries paper towels, toilet paper, cleansers, and the all important M & Ms at prices that rival big box stores.

Holiday shopping – They have coffee makers, slow cookers, panini grills, and toasters for  giving. Make wonderful gift baskets from boxes of tea, Starbucks gourmet hot chocolate mix  and tins of cookies.

The rewards are as follows – 10% back in Staples Rewards on all ink & toner purchases, 10% back in Staples Rewards on all case & ream paper purchases, 10% back in Staples Rewards on all Copy & Print purchases.  Don’t forget to recycle!
