It might be the best back-to-school discount yet this season.
Today through Saturday, shoppers can get a backpack for one cent at OfficeMax stores nationwide or online.
Purchase one of more than 140 qualifying student backpacks, laptop backpacks, messenger bags and more using your MaxPerks Rewards card (it’s free to join) at OfficeMax and receive the entire cost of the backpack, minus one penny, back in your rewards account for future purchases. That’s it.
For example, if you purchase the Ful Overton Backpack for $39.99, you’ll receive $39.98 back immediately in your MaxPerks account for your next purchase.
Also: Watch our back-to-school Q&A for money-saving tips and dorm room ideas.
