how to make money at staples

I am starting to love Staples, yes staples!! Its very easy to make money there, yes MAKE money!!! Here is what I did:

Previously I recycled 7 ink cartridges (they take any kind, even if they are recycled ones bought off the internet, and give you a $2 reward for each one! and you can recycle 10 a month) which gave me $14 in rewards.

Then I bought a 50ct package of photo sheets, price $9.99, and there is a $8.99 rebate
I also bought a ream of staples multipurpose paper (cause I had to spend over $14 to use my reward) for $5.99, and there is a $3.99 rebate
So my total came to $16.10, I used my $14 reward and paid $2.10 OOP (out of pocket)
My rebate total is $12.98 so once I get that I technically made $10.88!

In this visit I also took in 5 more cartridges so I will be getting another $10 reward!
