Here are the best back to school sales and deals I spotted in the Staples ad for August 3 - 9, 2014.

Be sure to hang on to your receipt, as you'll need it to complete any of the Easy Rebates featured in the ad!


Also, Texas readers should keep in mind that it might be worth shopping at the end of the week to take advantage of the Texas Tax-Free Weekend, which runs August 8 - 10 this year.
