Office Supplies Deals: Every Way to Save in 2026

This page has been helping people save on office supplies since the dial-up era, when it was all about Staples coupon codes and free shipping minimums. The codes era is over, but office supplies are still one of the easiest categories to overpay in, so here's how saving actually works now.

The office supplies stack

1. Join the free store programs first. Staples Easy Rewards and Office Depot/OfficeMax rewards are free money on ink, paper and recycling credits, and they stack with everything below.
2. Click through a cashback portal. Buying online from Staples, Office Depot or anyone else? Go through Rakuten first. Same store, same price, cash back on top.
3. Ink and toner: never pay retail. Recycling credits, refill programs, and high-yield cartridges beat shelf price by a wide margin. [Placeholder: current best ink strategy with numbers.]
4. Subscribe to consumables. Paper, pens, tape, printer ink: subscription discounts of 5-15% at the big stores and Amazon for stuff you'll always need.
5. Pay smart, scan the receipt. Best card for the purchase, then the receipt goes in Fetch like every other receipt.

The home office angle
