Some stores still have stock, and the good thing is that this is not a display type item such as a printer or camera where every store has one in inventory that is missing parts and is unsellable. With this item, either a store has a good one, or it has none.
How to find it:
The item you are looking for is SKU 616905 Canon brand accessory kit for Rebel SLR digital cameras. There are two Rebel Bag Kit versions at Staples. The newer one has a different SKU and is completely encased in red cardboard and is still $99.99. The $12.50 clearance version (SKU 616905) is packaged with red cardboard in the center, and at the sides there is clear plastic so you can see the bag. These bags are giant built to hold a Rebel SLR, 2 side lenses and extra items.
Inside the bag of either kit is a Canon SLR battery and a SLR lens filter.
The battery alone is worth more than $12.50.
The bag is badged "Canon Rebel" and is worth more than $12.50.
The filter alone is worth maybe $10?
YMMV in finding stock, but if you do this is fairly hot.
RIP

Inventory checker is not going to help here as it will show the availability of the SKU# (the newer one is completely encased in red cardboard and is still $99) rather than the actual clearance item (the $12.50 clearance version is packaged with red cardboard in the center, and at the sides there is clear plastic so you can see the bag). For this you will actually have to go to the store to find it.

I scored on from DFW.. Wow.. it is very nice kit. It is the XTi kit, not the new XSi kit.. The link above to Newegg shows the XT kit, but it is the same. The battery is for the XTi, not the new XSi but anyway it is a very good deal.. Thanks OP!
It was on the shelf.. Man, this thing is exactly what I was looking for, it can also carry a handycam, plus couple of lenses, batteries, memory cards..

I am a little confused. If the new and older version share the same SKU, why would they ring up at different prices, $99.99 and 12.50?
