Slick Nater Strikes Again

A couple weeks ago Office Depot posted a coupon in the paper.

As I was planning on going up to Heron Lakes to play a round of golf on Saturday, I planned a way there so that I go by 5 different stores. And 1 I would hit twice. The main reason is that they also had on sale a 50 pack of CD-Rs on sale for $4.99, and I needed CD-Rs, plus they would be free. So I went to each store and bought a pack of CD-Rs and maybe a pack of gum or something to get it over $5. It would then print out a coupon for $10 off of a $10 purchase. This led to me doing the same thing with this new coupon, but I couldn't buy any "technology" items with it. So here was my final haul:

Qty Item Retail What I Paid




4 50 Pack CD-Rs $39.96 $0.00
1 Compressed Air Can $9.99 $0.00
1 Resume Paper $9.39 $0.00
1 2 Pack Sharpies $2.58 $0.00
2 6 Pack Bubble Mailer Envelopes $10.78 $0.00
1 3M Masking Tape $4.99 $0.00
1 Pen Ink Refill $3.59 $0.00
1 3 Pack Legal NotePads $2.99 $0.00
1 Ream of Paper $3.49 $0.00
1 Mini Screwdriver Set $4.99 $0.00
1 5 Pack Gel Pens $3.49 $0.00
1 4 Pack Sponges $1.89 $0.37
1 25 Pack 3M Photo Paper $6.99 $0.24
1 Mini Hand Sanitizer $0.99 $0.82
7 Candy $3.40
$3.40









Total Value of Items Bought = $109.51





Total That I Paid = $4.83

I don't know how they expect to make any money.... :D
