Congratulations!!!
I am a Staples junkie. I am an office manager and I need supplies for my home office, too, so I do all of the rebates, use every coupon possible and check their email ads all of the time. So, I changed purses last January and moved this Staples coupon card (plastic, like a credit card) to my new purse. Recently they started to stamp their rebate cards with the dollar amounts, but this one didn't have that. I ALMOST threw it away bc I tend to keep things like that after they are empty.
Anyway, last month I was buying supplies at Staples and I used up two of the newer rebate cards. I pulled out this old one bc there was like $14.00 left to pay. I Thought that maybe there was about $3.00 on the old card. The clerk hands me the receipt and the card and tells me that I still have $101.00 on this (old) card! Then, the clerk asked me if I wanted to do more shopping. HECK, yeah!
I never did like my office chair, and chairs were on sale. I ended up buying a new, leather chair originally $170.00 for $4.00 + some change. :weee
Guess they are still on sale:

We are NOT doing the hoarders here any favors.
Don't spend it all in one place.

you should see it from the other side: if the car or stove broke first, you'd be much happier with that check. :thumbsup
