Sneak peek at the Staples circular (December 30 to January 5)

Let's take a sneak peek at the upcoming Staples circular (December 30, 2007 to January 5, 2008). It spans a whole year ;-) In this circular Staples launches their 20% rewards program on select brands that goes on until the end of January. Apart from the brands mentioned in the link, there is a special one week only 20% reward on all Scotch purchases. (Scotch the office supplies brand, not whiskey - just to be sure) :-)
