In general you can't use a coupon code in staples store. they may ask for the actually coupon in print. however you can find the printable coupons from those coupon sites. see mrbentley's post.

Great post. Got one of the two @ staples on Broadway & 48th St. In Phoenix. Funny thing is, they didn't have it out, so I asked, and when the guy went to the console, it was already pulled up. He was like, "did someone already look this up for you?"

Guess someone called ahead of me. ;)

$30.80 out the door.

These CDRWs on are clearance and have been for some time. I checked all three Staples here in Bham, AL and all were out of stock. It's worth checking your local Staples but don't be surprised if they are OOS. Be sure to have them check in the back cause these may not be on the shelf.

I stopped by the Staples on Water St - NYC but they didn't have any. The clerk wasn't too helpful in looking elsewhere
for me. I had time to kill so I went to 41st & 6 Ave but they didn't have any either. He was able to tell me that there
were a few at 45 & 5 Ave. Off I went there ... still had time to kill and it was a nice walk.

Manager there asked him to describe the product when I asked him about the SKU. I told him that it might be
easier for him to look it up and read the description. Kinda dumb on his part. He saw that they had one so I
purchased it. With coupon it came to a little over $30.00

BTW. Ask the clerk to look up stock at other Staples for you. Don't let them give you a song and a dance about
it. They can even ring the store and put it on hold for your pickup.

Thanks a lot. .... Nice Deal for me anyway.

i just picked up the last one on the shelf at my local staples.

I had read this thread earlier but didn't think i had a shot at getting one in my area. (Mid Wilshire, miracle mile) I went back and read about the 10 dollar coupon, and decided then to give it a try.

When I got, there the price tag read something like 109 or 119, so I told him that i had seen it at another staples for a clearance sale price, and asked him to scan it. HE did and 38.78 poppod up, He said "What!",
I then said, " I'll take it and here is a coupon for $10.00 off". He looked at me and then rang it up.

30.78 out the door
I got one of my friends xmas gift out of the way.

Their acer 20x10x40 was reduced to 99.88, and I was able to use the 80 off 100 coupon one last time (expires 12/14), to make it 80 +tax. If you must have that extra speed its not a bad price, but not the hot deal like the 12x for $30.

Hey Istvan:

Can't see why you complain about the employees getting ALL the good deals. There are
frequently enough good deals to go around for us all. These guys do not make a lot of
money so give them a break and let them get first dibs if they want. Frequently they don't
even know about the deals themselves.

Yeah...the store was closing in a few minutes, and the guy I asked seemed new. He let me look over his shoulder at the terminal to see the quantity. Then he went in the back room and was talking to someone for a while. Guess the employee had pulled them from the shelf already, but since I knew there were two, he had to give one up.

So anyone have a hot deal on an external USB case for this? I'd love to go portable...

Cheapest I've found is here for $89 for a USB 2.0 enclosure.

Just remember, Acer is one of the WORST rebaters. Be prepared to wait for your rebate check. If the rebate is from Staples, then OK.

No Rebate just a Staples 10 off 30 purchase

Instant discount

Unit for 40 less 10 to net around $30.00. Slightly less than 30 so just add a bar of candy if needed.

Hahaha..you really should read these things called..um...words? When put together they make a sentence. The sentence usually has a point. The point being there is no rebate, just a coupon. Hahah...just teasing. ;)

Bummer, both Springfield MO stores don't have it in stock. The guy told me the SKU also shows as "inactive for this district" whatever that means.
