Recently, I was able to get just over $100 worth of Duracell batteries for free from Staples. Stop drooling, HL…
In the month of December, Staples was offering a 20 pack of AA or AAA batteries for $12.99, but you’d get $12.99 back in Staples rewards. You could purchase up to 10 packs and get the $12.99 back. I ended up getting 8 packs of batteries.
So, I spent $103.92 on the batteries and I recently got my Staples Rewards voucher in the mail for that amount.
Then, I used that $103.92 voucher plus a coupon to buy items that were nearly free after rebate. This will allow me to turn the Staples Rewards voucher into a series of actual rebates checks that I will be able to take to the bank and deposit.
Here’s how I did it.
160 AA & AAA Duracell Batteries : $103.92
American Express 5% Cash Back : -$5.19
Brother 575 Fax Machine : $59.99
Rebate : -$50.00
Brother PT1090 Label Maker: $34.99
Rebate : -$25.00
Brother PT1090 Label Maker: $34.99
Rebate : -$25.00
$25 off $100 Coupon (purchased from ejunkie.com) : $0.93
Coupon : -$25.00
Staples Reward Voucher : -$103.92
TOTAL: 71¢
And, if I can make a few dollars selling the fax machine and label makers on eBay, I will have actually made money by purchasing those batteries.
