It’s the middle of summer, but back-to-school savings have already begun. Joe Daugirdas, also known as " Joe the Coupon Guy ," said students can score big deals by starting their shopping now.
Staples offers the biggest bargains this week, with an ad for $5 off a $30 purchase. You can also save money by purchasing a Back to School Savings pass for $10, which earns you 15 percent off each purchase during the school season. For just a penny each, you can pick up RoseArt crayons, Staples glue, and Bic pens this week at Staples.
From binders to batteries, Office Max also offers deals this week. Check out their website for MaxPerks Rewards, which lets you earn free school supplies by signing up online. This week’s freebies were Sharpie markers and Liquid Paper products.
For college students looking to save money on textbooks, BookRenter offers free standard shipping each day on all textbook rentals.
