  1. How do you get the rebate? Do you have to have a coupon or are they just automatic?

  2. Good question Nicole.....

    The rebates for all the things I bought at Staples and Office Depot print at the register. They give you a separate receipt for each rebate. The Office Depot ones you have mail in, but the Staples ones you can mail in or do online. I did mine online because I think the rebate comes back quicker that way!! Hope this helps!!

  3. I did so good at CVS this week!!! I spent 12.42, but got back $15.98 in Extra Bucks!!! I'm getting the hang of it! Totally going to Office Depot and Staples, but I am going to get the smelly markers that have a rebate too b/c I need a set for school!
