Staples organizational items: Get 100% back on these items

I have no idea why all retailers seem to think that your house needs a good tidying after the holidays and that it needs re-organized in some fashion.  Perhaps it is because it is a new year and you don't want to feel like your home looks like an episode of Hoarders, so you resolve as one of your New Year's Resolutions to start the new year with a new you -- meaning you're giving up your messy, bad habits. 

This leads into Staples' ad this week which features five organizational items that you can pick up and receive 100% back in Staples rewards (see note below about how you could potentially use those rewards once they credit your account.)

100% Staples Rewards items include:  Avery heavy duty view binder (reg. price $8.49-$32.00) limit 4; 10 pack of Staples economy storage box (reg. price $15.49) limit 2; Staples heavy weight manilla letter-sized folders 3 tab/50 per box (reg. $9.19) limit 2; Staples letter/legal size plastic storage tote (reg. price $13.99) limit 2; and Staples 2013 22" x 17" desk pad calendar (reg. price $5) limit 2.

Reminder, too, that your child's teacher would likely love any or all of these items, which you would receive full rewards back on, making them a great freebie to donate.

Back to the Rewards... I was able to use some ink rewards coupled with rewards I received from batteries I purchased on 100% Rewards back in October on a Kindle Fire.  I called ahead to verify that it was allowed (it was!) so keep that in mind if you're looking to invest in a tablet or other electronic device after you recover from the holidays.  It takes a month or so for rewards to post to your account.

Free, but free after Staples Easy Rebate this week is also Staples Photo plus 4x6 paper 60 pack.  This is $9.99 and  you'll get $9.99 back via Easy Rebate.
