Tag Archives: Back-to-school

I wanted to remind you that Office Depot has this very nice deal going on on backpacks through Saturday only...

You see, Office Max (in-stores and online) is offering all of your money back, except for one cent per backpack purchased in MaxPerk rewards!  If you decide to shop online, you'll even be able to avoid the shipping costs if your order is over $50, which means you can score up to two backpacks for two cents total shipped to your front door!

Here's how to get in on this stellar deal:

• Go to OfficeMax.com
• Add 2 backpacks to your cart (or one backpack over $50 to avoid the shipping costs)
• Head to checkout
• Enter your MaxPerks Reward at checkout (mandatory)
• Purchase your backpack(s)

Now, just a small waiting game to receive your quarterly MaxPerks Rewards, which will be dollars to use at OfficeMax. These are great to use towards ink or other office supplies! Please note you cannot use MaxPerks Rewards toward gift card purchases.

And, don't forget about the other great items this week that I posted about here that are dang near free at Office Max as well with MaxPerks Rewards!

I can hardly believe my kids are going back to school in less than two weeks. My second child will be in kindergarten this year! As you prepare to send your kids to school, be sure to grab 140 FREE Labels courtesy of Vistaprint. I like to use these to stick on notebooks, lunchboxes, water bottles, whatever ends up in my kids’ backpacks on the way to school. Here’s what you do to grab your free labels:

• Stop by Vistaprint and choose “Return Address Labels.”

• Choose the “Personal & Family” tab, then select “Kids” to choose one of 66 designs.

• Pay $2.95 for 21-day shipping (or pay only $3.50 for priority shipping).

You’ll also find loads more back to school freebies at Vistaprint, like free wall calendars, photo magnets and more. Just pay a small shipping fee for each.
