The main Staples deal right now is the up to 40% off sale on 1000+ items, which is best for shoppers buying marked down items across home and office categories. That sale is the headline offer on this page and applies to products already on promotion, so it is the first place to check if your items are showing a sale price.
Big electronics and mixed large carts. If your primary purchase is a laptop, check the up to 50% off laptop deals first, because a laptop sale price will usually beat a general 40% off sale if the vendor lists it at 50% off. For a printer purchase, compare the specific $120 off HP Officejet Pro reductions and the 28% off HP Officejet Pro 9125 listing: for items covered by the $120 off deal that discount is a fixed amount, which can be bigger or smaller than 28% depending on the model price. Example: on a $300 printer, $120 off gives a final price of $180, a saving of $120; 28% off leaves $216, a saving of $84, so take the $120 off if it applies to your model.
Office supplies and moving kits. If you are buying moving boxes, packing tape or bubble roll only, the up to 50% off moving supplies deal is the most relevant. That sale applies to selected products, so confirm the item is in the moving supplies sale group before assuming 50% off.
Furniture and seating. For chairs, the up to 40% off selected chairs is targeted at seating and may match the headline sale for those categories. If a chair is listed in the 40% off chairs sale, that is the offer to use.
Luggage and brand specific buys. For selected Vera Bradley suitcases and luggage sets you save 25% on the marked models, which could be better than the general 40% sale only if the suitcase is not in the wider sale or the 25% is applied to a higher original price. Check the product page to see which sale label appears.
Low spend or first time newsletter signup. Signing up for the newsletter gives access to special offers and is useful for first time shoppers wanting future deals, but the newsletter signup is not the main offer and does not replace the current sale prices on items.
When choosing between offers, pick the one that produces the lowest final price for the same item: a fixed $120 off can beat a percent discount on lower priced models, while a higher percent on a single product may save more on expensive items. Only one sale label will apply to any given product on the site, so use the sale shown on the product page and take whichever listed discount leaves the lower total.
