Ordered my Color Laser Printer for $174.00 plus free camera - Here's how it went

Okay. Here's what I did. On this previous post, the Staples circular listed a color laser printer for $199.

I ordered it online and here the breakdown:
  • Instant coupon so it was original price of $349 now down to $199. No rebate needed.
  • Used Coupon 7671-3339-3847-2840 (without hyphens) to get an additional $25 off (purchases of $100 or more excluding computers)
  • Used Coupon 71236 to get a free 3.1 MP camera
  • Got free shipping or pickup at local Staples store
  • Had to pay sales taxes on the $89.99 MSRP on the camera and $349 original price of the printer
  • Also got 1% of purchase towards kids 529 accounts

Again, you have to "need" or really rationalize the cost:benefit of any purchase. Around $174 is a really good price for the features. I didn't think another $120 was worth Wi-Fi (the next model up).
