How to Save at Staples With Coupons, Rewards and Sales

Start With Easy Rewards

Staples Easy Rewards is the main rewards program, and it is worth joining before a larger order. Members can earn points on eligible purchases, choose bonus categories and redeem points at checkout once enough points are available.

Bonus categories matter because Staples shoppers often repeat the same purchases. If your household or office buys ink, toner, paper, cleaning supplies, shipping supplies or print services often, pick bonus categories that match those patterns.

Rewards work when they follow planned spending, so don’t add extra supplies just to chase points.

Check Coupon Corner Before Building the Cart

Staples Coupon Corner is the first place to scan before checkout. Offers can apply to categories such as furniture, print services, labels, cords, tech accessories, school supplies or office basics.

Read the terms before building the cart. Many Staples coupons exclude Daily Deals, Auto Restock orders, clearance, self-service printing or specific brands and services. Some discounts apply only to regular-priced items. A coupon is only valuable if it applies to the items already needed.

Treat Promo Codes and Cash Back Separately

Staples coupons may be limited to one coupon or one discount path per order, depending on the offer. That makes the final checkout screen important.

Compare the final total after coupons, rewards and shipping terms before paying.

Let the Staples App Organize the Savings

The Staples app can help shoppers manage Easy Rewards, activate offers, track points and redeem rewards. That matters because Staples savings can sit in several places at once.

Before paying, open the app and review available rewards, bonus categories and app offers. This quick scan can prevent missed savings on routine orders like paper, ink, toner, cleaning supplies or school essentials.

Time Orders Around Weekly and Seasonal Deals

Staples deals change often, especially around back-to-school, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, home-office refresh periods and business supply restocks.

Back-to-school is usually one of the clearest seasonal windows for notebooks, folders, writing supplies, backpacks, calculators and classroom basics. Black Friday and Cyber Monday can matter more for tech, printers, chairs, monitors and office upgrades.

Weekly deals are more suitable for repeat essentials. If paper, ink, labels or cleaning supplies are already on the list, scan the current sale before paying full price.

Avoid Shipping Fees When the Order Qualifies

Staples promotes free next-day delivery to much of the U.S. on eligible in-stock orders over $35. Shoppers can also choose store pickup for eligible items when local inventory is available.

Pickup can be the smarter path for smaller orders, urgent supplies or items needed the same day. Wait for the pickup confirmation before heading to the store.

Shipping and pickup rules can vary by item, address and availability, so review the final cart before checkout.

Set Auto Restock Only for True Repeat Buys

Auto Restock can help on supplies that run out on a schedule, such as printer paper, ink, toner, labels, coffee, breakroom supplies or cleaning products. Staples currently promotes 5% off one subscribed item or 10% off two or more subscribed items, plus free delivery on Auto Restock orders.

This is strongest for predictable supplies. It is weaker for items that change by season, brand preference or office size. Before enrolling, choose a realistic delivery schedule and review upcoming shipments so extra inventory does not pile up.
