*Note: The backpack rebate comes in the form of a Staples Rewards check, not a cash rebate. You must have a rewards account set up in order to receive this reward. If you don’t have a rewards account yet, you can sign up at the store right before you check out. The rewards checks will be mailed in October.
My mom and dad also have a Staples rewards account, so we also bought a fun backpack for Emma! She’s just about ready for another year of preschool to start!
I think my husband is officially hooked on bargain shopping now. He’s the one who scored the sweet backpack deal this week! It has a padded, shock-resistant compartment for his laptop. We paid about $8 tax for everything. I shudder to think about how much we spent on Emma’s preschool supplies last year. I’m so thankful that I discovered the wonderful world of bargain shopping in time for this year’s back-to-school shopping!
