If you live close to a National Park, this weekend admission will be free! This would make a great family outing for nature lovers. Take a picnic lunch and enjoy a nice walk/hike in scenic surroundings.
Can’t make it this weekend? You have 3 other options:
Have you ever been to a National Park? (I have not.)
Are you in need of printer paper, pencils, or washable markers? You’re in luck! These supplies are all free at Staples this week!
Staples Multipurpose paper, on sale for $7.99. Use the $3.99 coupon and $4.00 Staples Easy Rebate. (Limit 1)
(FYI: I have not paid for printer paper in 5 years, courtesy of the free-after-rebate deals!)
BIC Matic Grip™ 0.7 mm assorted mechanical pencils on sale for
$4.49, minus $2.99 instant savings, and $1.50 Staples Easy Rebate. (Limit 1)
(Pencils/pens are another item I get for free.)
Crayola washable markers, 8-pack, on sale for $4.99 and
$4.99 Staples Easy Rebate. (Limit 1)
(I’ve never tried washable markers before, so these look really cool.)
You need a Staples Rewards account to participate in these deals. You can sign up in the store for free. As for submitting the rebates, it’s easiest when done online. Staples is slow to mail the check, but I’ve always received them. I submit the same day I buy, otherwise it’s very easy to forget!
