Good. I was starting to worry about running out. I've only got a gazillion reams sitting around from recent deals.

here is the pdf.

(YMMV if you're ambitious, it might be possible to combine the 10% off coupon (here with these (since this si a dummy sku there should be no problems...but that's upto you)

I'm going to be buying it with 4 photo papers + 2 duracells and use the 10% off and a $10 off $75. We'll see how it goes. (Also, the $4 duracell manufacturer's coupon).

Am I mistaken here? This is only for individual reams of paper?

Will be trying the same and throwing Staples GCs from Discover on top as payment to make this a decent MM.

hot deals does rewards and rebates

the members in finance are the ones webdoctors' thinking about. =T

Upgraded v999's coupon PDF to 2 on a page so you can give one to your "Friend".

six ninety nine for a ream of paper? you got to be kidding me. two dollars and thirty three cents a Wal-Mart.

Awesome! Thank you. Always need free paper.

I think this is very subtle joke (it's dunder-mifflin paper...) I have this urge to photoshop the image to have the fatwallet logo on the box "fatwallet deal paper"

BTW, rebate offer is 12-35289

raddish said:    no free paper at Staples, two thirty three at WalMart. i am no math expert, but from the minimal math that i know 0 < 2.33.

This really isn't a debate worth having (again!!).

Free after rewards deals clearly aren't for everyone, but there are many of us who understand and appreciate these deals. Thanks OP

The way I see it, if I need paper and there is none free at Staples, I'd rather pick it up at Wal-Mart.

MrVietnam said:   This dummy sku coupon can be used with the 10% off one item coupon, right? Hope so. It could cover the sales tax and give me a few extra cents back too.

Forget 10% off. How about 20% off?

Thanks. Great find. Too bad though I didn't see your post before I went out an successfully used the 10% off coupon.

However I will use it tomorrow to pick up one more photo paper and make it a small MM.

I used this 10% off entire purchase that was linked in another thread. I bought 4 photo papers, 1 ream, 2 duracells. Used 10% and $10 off $75. Forgot my $4 duracell coupon, but since it's my last one it doesn't matter if it I use it this week or next week anyway.

On my receipt, the 10% shows up as a separate discount, not prorated to each item like most coupons. I wonder how that will affect the battery rewards...

There is a new rebate for this coupon this week! Staples usually hides these bonus rebates (it was last week) but for some reason it's exposed this time. If you search on the dummy SKU 866957, you will see that it comes up with a 12/9-15 rebate. The rebate id is 12-35288. Limit is 1 again.

than you billrubin! has anyone received the dummy sku/coupon(?) or knows how to obtain the correct expiration date on the coupon?

hmmm...

for reference purposes only (below; official "correct" one will probably arrive in email on tuesday, as billrubin mentioned)

Went and picked up the paper tonight. I initially took the copy paper that they have on the display, since it's $3 AR. Realized my mistake and went back and got the right one. The cashier told me that she had a customer yesterday who bought the wrong one, and neither she nor the manager could figure out what the problem was when the FAR rebate did not print out! Since the coupon is actually just a dummy item, it scans whether you purchased the correct paper or not.
