Staples Back-to-school Review and $25 Staples gift card Giveaway



The Federal Trade Commission requires testing program participants to disclose that they have received products for complimentary testing purposes. So I am letting you know to be in compliance:  I received these products complimentary from Staples for testing purposes.


As a mom of four, all of which are of school age this year, I am always looking for an easier, albeit cheaper solution to back-to-school shopping. When I was given the opportunity to work with a group of bloggers, and share with my readers how to get a great deal at Staples, I jumped at the opportunity.

When looking at my kids school supply list, I got incredibly overwhelmed. It seems like the list gets longer and more expensive each year. I use to find myself going between stores, and trying to save a buck here and there. This year, I accepted the challenge to shop at Staples, and get it all done at once.  

My kids range from Pre-K to 7th grade, and the list goes from as easy as erasers to a graphic calculator. I  packed up all of the kids, and headed into town for a morning shopping trip. Lists in hand, and a mission on the mind, we started crossing items off of our lists pretty quickly. The kids seemed pretty excited about all of the items that they were getting, and I was excited about the prices! 

To start this review off, I was sent a box of 14 items, totaling $8.74 + tax.


  • Staples 2 pocket folder - $0.15
  • Staples 1 subject notebook 8" x 10-1/2" - $0.17
  • Westcott 12" wood ruler - $0.25
  • Staples school glue 4oz - $0.39
  • Staples ruled 3" x 5" white index cards, 100/pack - $0.48
  • Staples composition book, wide rule 9=3/4: x 7-1/2" - $0.50
  • Crayola crayons, 24/box - $0.50
  • Staples #2 yellow pencils, dozen - $0.68
  • Staples slider pencil case - $0.75
  • Staples pink wedge erasers 3/pack - $0.96

To give you a better piece of mind shopping at Staples, they offer Back-to-school 110% price match guarantee.

Staples will price match items sold and shipped by Amazon.com or any retailer who sells products in both retail stores and online, under the same brand.

Happy back to school shopping, and be sure to enter for your chance to win a $25 Staples gift card!
