Welcome to Bargain Babe! I’m Mara, and I’m so glad you’re here. I am an obsessive bargain hunter and penny pincher, and I am determined to live a full life without EVER paying full price. 
I think it’s best to check flyer/website for the store in your area, with regards to Staples. This week, I happened to look at the Burbank Staples flyer and was set to use my $5 off $25 coupon on ink, paper (rebate – yay!) and some penny and quarter items.
Well, I ended up visited my parents and going to the Camarillo store, but the penny and quarter deals were different. The penny deal in Camarillo was the filler paper, not the spiral notebooks.
I ended up reconfiguring what I was going to buy – ink, paper, filler paper, etc., to use the coupon. And, on a subsequent trip to the Burbank Staples, found the 25-cent poly binders. Funny thing, the filler paper will be a penny on the 28th per the new ad, lol.
