CVS & Staples 6/9

Isn't this goofy taking a picture of my CVS trip? And I forgot to put the Gillette Razor on the pile so just imagine it:)

I always try to plan my shopping trips to get the most bang for the miles. Staples is about 15 minutes away from me so I always combine a stop there with a stop at JoAnn's or Dick's Sporting Goods, Home Depot ect. Today, I had to go to the Chevy dealership to get a part to fix my car after I wrecked it on Saturday.....into my husbands truck. Thanks to my dad in Houston who works for Chevy, he called and got me the part for cost. Thanks Daddy. My very sweet hubby already installed it. My trip today included picking up CK#2 at bball camp, 1/2 price drinks at Sonic (2-4pm), Beaty Chevy and Staples.


My buy price for reams of paper is $1/ream. This is pretty easy to get with the rebates that Staples has at least monthly. This week Staples has Hammermill Copyplus Paper 500ct reams for $4.99ea. There is a $3.99 rebate with a limit of two. So I bought two and tonight I did the very easy process of entering that rebate online at http://www.stapleseasyrebates.com/. The checks come in 4-6 weeks. The other part of using Staples is that with their rewards program I get $3 for each used ink cartridge and 10% for paper and ink puchases. So this paper was actually .51 a ream after the 10% I will get back in my rewards check.
